Immunogen
|
Highly purified normal IgG isolated from pooled rhesus monkey serum. Freund's complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.

Specificity
|
The reactivity of the antiserum is restricted to the Fc part of the IgG molecule. In immuno-electrophoresis and radial immunodiffusion, using various antiserum concentrations against normal monkey serum a single precipitin line is obtained which shows a reaction of identity with the precipitin line obtained with purified IgG. No precipitation reaction is obtained with purified IgA, IgM, and IgG/Fab fragments. Precipitating polyclonal rabbit antiserum to monkey IgG, Fc specific

Characteristics
|
Total protein and IgG concentrations in the antiserum are comparable to those of pooled normal rabbit serum. Antibody titre: Precipitin titre 1:64 when tested against pooled normal monkey serum in agar-block immunodiffusion titr

Purification
|
Delipidated, heat inactivated, lyophilized, stable whole antiserum Immunoaffinity adsorbed using insolubilized antigens as required, to eliminate antibodies cross-reacting with other components of the immunoglobulin system or reacting with other serum proteins. The use of insolubilized adsorption antigens prevents the presence of excess adsorbent protein or immune complexes in the antiserum.
