Reactivity
Monkey
(tested or 100% immunogen sequence identity)
Conjugations
Unconjugated.
Also available conjugated with
Biotin,
HRP,
TRITC.
Immunogen
Highly purified normal IgA isolated from Rhesus monkey serum. Freund's complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.
Specificity
Monkey IgA, Fc specific.
Usage
The reactivity of the antiserum is restricted to the Fc part of the IgA molecule. In immunoelectrophoresis 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 IgA. No precipitation reaction is obtained with purified IgG, IgM, and IgG/Fab fragments. In precipitating techniques as immunoelectrophoresis and radial immunodiffusion to identify the presence of IgA in monkey serum or other body fluids or to determine its concentration. To prepare an immunoadsorbent for the purification of monkey IgA from serum or plasma. Antisera to IgA do not discriminate between serum IgA (monomeric and dimeric) and higher molecular forms such as secretory IgA. This antiserum is not intended for use in non-precipitating antibody-binding or other highly sensitive assays. For such use labeled and unlabelled cytochemical and immunoassay grade reagents meeting the necessary additional specificity and performance requirements are available.
