Monkey IgA (Secretory component) goat polyclonal antibody, TRITC
| Applications | Tested in immunoelectrophoresis, double radial immunodiffusion and ELISA against a panel of appropriate secretions and purified Ig isotypes. Can be used as reagent for the direct detection of secretory component in monkey cells, tissues and body fluids in immunofluorescence; as detection reagent in non-isotopic methodology and solid phase immunochemistry (e.g. ELISA). This immunoconjugate is not pre-diluted. The optimum working dilution of each conjugate should be established by titration before being used. Excess labelled antibody must be avoided because it may cause high unspecific background staining and interfere with the specific signal. Working dilutions are usually between 1:10 and 1:40. |
| Reactivities | Chimpanzee, Monkey |
| Conjugation | TRITC |
| Immunogen | Secretory component is present in monkey secretions bound to secretory IgA (sIgA) and in free form. Secretory IgA (sIgA) functions as a dimer or polymer and accounts for almost all specific mucosal antibody activity. A molecule of sIgA is made up of two molecules of IgA, one J chain and one SC (MW 65,000). The dimer IgA is transported into secretions by its binding to the SC on the epithelial cells. SC also has an affinity for polymeric IgM. Purified free monkey secretory component isolated from pooled milk is used for immunization. Freund’s complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure. |
