Anti-Human IgA (α-chain specific) antibody produced in rabbit

Description

• General description: IgA is the highest generated antibody isotype. IgAs are mainly secreted in the intestinal mucosa. Anti-Human IgA (α-chain specific) antibody is specific for the α-chain of IgA in humans. The product reacts with human IgA when tested against purified human IgA, IgG, IgM, and Bence Jones κ and lambda myeloma proteins.
• Specificity: The antibody preparation is specific for human IgA when tested against purified human IgA, IgG, IgM, Bence Jones kappa and lambda myeloma proteins.
• Immunogen: IgA purified from normal human colostrum
• Application: Anti-Human IgA (α-chain specific) antibody is suitable for use in: enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) quantitative precipitin assay (2.5-5 mg/mL)immunoelectrophoresis Ouchterlony double diffusion (1:16)
• 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 prevents the commensal microorganisms from invading the intestines.
• Physical form: Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide as preservative
• 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, or storage in "frost-free" freezers, is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use.
