Anti-Human IgA (α-chain specific)−Alkaline Phosphatase antibody produced in goat

Description

• General description: Immunoglobulin A (IgA) is the most abundant antibody isotype produced in humans. IgAs are heterogeneous and exist as two IgA subtypes. It has the ability to form multimers by interacting with the joining (J) chain.It is present in large quantities in blood. IgA antibodies protect mucosal surfaces against invading pathogens.
• Specificity: The conjugate is specific for human IgG. No cross-reaction with Mouse and Rat IgG.
• Immunogen: Purified human IgA
• Application: Anti-Human IgA (α-chain specific) Alkaline Phosphatase antibody produced in goat has been used in quantitative sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunoassays.
• Biochem/physiol Actions: IgA is a secretory glycoprotein antibody that regulates the physiological balance between commensal intestinal bacteria and the defenses of the host immune system. It is the highest generated antibody isotype. IgAs are mainly secreted in the intestinal mucosa and prevent the commensal microorganisms from invading the intestines
