Anti-Chicken IgY (IgG) (whole molecule) antibody produced in rabbit

Description

• General description: Chicken IgG (immunoglobulin G) is also referred to as IgY. IgY shows similarity to mammalian IgG, differing by the presence of one more constant region domain and absence of functional hinge regions. IgY is the most abundant serum immunoglobulin in birds.
• Application: Anti-Chicken IgY (IgG) (whole molecule) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
• Biochem/physiol Actions: IgY antibody subtype is the most abundant of serum immunoglobulins of the immune system in birds and is analogous to IgG found in mammals. It is secreted by B cells and is found in blood and extracellular fluids and provides protection from infections caused by bacteria, fungi and viruses.
• Physical form: Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
• Storage and Stability: For continuous use, store at 2-8 °C for up to one month. For extended storage, the solution may be frozen in working aliquots. Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Storage in "frost-free" freezers not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use.
