• Bovine serum antibody was purified as an IgG fraction antibody purified from monospecific antiserum by a multi-step process which includes delipidation, salt fractionation and ion exchange chromatography followed by extensive dialysis against the buffer stated above
• Assay by immunoelectrophoresis resulted in a single precipitin arc against anti-Biotin, anti-Rabbit Serum as well as purified and partially purified Albumin (Bovine Serum]
• Cross reactivity against Albumin from other sources may occur but have not been specifically determined
• Albumin is a soluble, monomeric protein which comprises about one-half of the blood serum protein
• Albumin functions primarily as a carrier protein for steroids, fatty acids, and thyroid hormones and plays a role in stabilizing extracellular fluid volume
• Albumin is a globular unglycosylated serum protein of molecular weight 65,000
• Albumin is synthesized in the liver as preproalbumin which has an N-terminal peptide that is removed before the nascent protein is released from the rough endoplasmic reticulum
• The product, proalbumin, is in turn cleaved in the Golgi vesicles to produce the secreted albumin.
