Application Notes
Suitable for Immunoblotting (Western: 1/500-1/5000 or Dot blot), ELISA (1/5000-1/20000),Immunoprecipitation (1/100) and most Immunological methods requiring high titer andspecificity. Recommended Dilutions: This product has been assayed against 1.0 μg of Ovalbumin [Hen Egg White] in a standardsandwich ELISA using Peroxidase conjugated Affinity Purified anti-Rabbit IgG [H&L] (Goat)(Cat#R1364HRP) and ABTS (2,2'-azino-bis-[3-ethylbenthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid]) as asubstrate for 30 minutes at room temperature. A working dilution of 1/90,000 to 1/450,000of the reconstitution concentration is suggested for this product. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Chicken Ovalbumin is the major protein in the "white" of the egg (and a favorite antigen in immunological research). Egg white contains a variety of proteins including ovalbumin, conalbumin, ovomucoid and lysozyme. It belongs to the serpin family and the Ov serpin subfamily. Ovalbumin can cause an allergic reaction in humans. Ovalbumin has been implicated in the development of the egg shell. Immunohistochemistry revealed that ovalbumin is found only in the mammillary bodies of decalcified shell, and is not distributed throughout the shell matrix. These results indicate that ovalbumin is present during the initial phase of shell formation and becomes incorporated into the protein matrix of the mammillary bodies. However, it is not yet clear whether ovalbumin at this site plays a specific role in shell mineralisation. Anti Ovalbumin Antibody recognizes ovalbumin that is the main protein found in egg white. Ovalbumin makes up 60-65 % of the total protein. Ovalbumin displays sequence and three-dimensional homology to the serpin superfamily, but unlike most serpins it is not a serine protease inhibitor. The function of ovalbumin is unknown, although it is presumed to be a storage protein.Synonyms: Allergen Gal d II, Egg albumin, Plakalbumin, SERPINB14
