Specifications

Product Data

• Applications: ELISA, ID, IF, IP, WB
• Recommended Dilution: The cytochemical grade of GARa/Alb/7S allows its use in different types of highly sensitive immunoassays on appropriately treated cell and tissue substrates; in radioimmunoassay; for the production of immunoconjugates with a selected marker; to prepare immunoaffinity adsorbents by coupling to an artificial carrier; in non-isotopic methodology based on solid phase immunochemistry (e.g. ELISA), both as catching antibody and detection reagent; in Western blotting. This product is not pre-diluted. The optimum working dilution of each product should be established by titration before being used.
  Working dilutions:
  For histochemical and cytochemical use are usually between 1/100 and 1/500.
  In ELISA and comparable non-precipitating antibody-binding assays are between 1/1000 and 1/10000.
• Reactivities: Rat
• Host: Goat
• Isotype: IgG
• Clonality: Polyclonal
• Immunogen: Highly purified albumin isolated from rat serum. Freund’s complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.
• Specificity: The defined antibody specificity is directed to albumin as tested against rat sera. In immunoelectrophoresis and double radial immunodiffusion (Ouchterlony), using various antiserum concentrations against appropriate concentrations of the immunogen, a single characteristic precipitin line is obtained which shows a reaction of identity with the precipitin lines obtained against rat serum and the purified albumin.
  Cross-reactivity:
  Inter-species cross-reactivity is a normal feature of antibodies to mammalian serum proteins, since homologous proteins of different species frequently share antigenic determinants. The degree of crossreactivity is also dependent on the concentrations of the reactants and the sensitivity of the assay arrangement. This antiserum fraction has been tested for cross-reactivity by double radial immunodiffusion against several species sera with the following results:
  - cow, chicken, goat and sheep
  + horse, dog, human, swine and monkey
  ++ mouse and guinea pig
  ± rabbit
• Formulation: PBS, pH 7.2
  No preservative added, as it may interfere with the antibody activity. No foreign proteins added.
  State: Azide Free
  State: Lyophilised hyperimmune Ig fraction
• Reconstitution Method: Restore with 1 ml sterile distilled water
• Concentration: lot specific
• Purification: DEAE-column Chromatography
• Conjugation: Unconjugated
• Storage: Prior to reconstitution store at 2-8°C.
  Following reconstitution store undiluted at 2-8°C for one week
  or (in aliquots) at -20°C for longer.
  Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
• Stability: Shelf life: one year from despatch.
• Gene Name: albumin
• Database Link:
  Entrez Gene 24186 Rat
  UniProt ID P02770
• Synonyms: ALB, BSA, HSA, Serum Albumin
• Note: Adsorption: Immunoaffinity adsorbed using insolubilized antigens as required, to eliminate antibodies reacting with other serum proteins. The use of insolubilized adsorption antigens prevents the presence of excess adsorbent protein or immune complexes in the antiserum.
