LALBA antibody

Catalog No. ABIN458116

Product Details anti-LALBA Antibody

Target: LALBA (Lactalbumin, alpha- (LALBA))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This LALBA antibody is un-conjugated

Application: ELISA, Immunoelectrophoresis (IEP), Nephelometry (Neph), Radial Immunodiffusion (RID), Immunodiffusion (ID)

Specificity: Homologous proteins of different species frequently share antigenic determinants. The degree of cross-reactivity is also dependent on the concentrations of the reactants and the sensitivity of the assay arrangement. This antiserum has not been tested for cross-reactivity.

Characteristics: Precipitating polyclonal rabbit antiserum to human alpha-lactalbumin

Purification: 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.

Immunogen: Highly purified alpha-lactalbumin isolated from human milk. Alpha-lactalbumin is one of the major proteins in the alpha region after immunoelectrophoresis of human milk. It has been implicated as a component of the enzyme lactose synthetase which catalyzes the formation of lactose from uridine diphosphate galactose and glucose. Freund’s complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.

Isotype: IgG

Application Details

Application Notes: As precipitating antiserum to identify or measure human alpha-lactalbumin by a variety of immuno-diffusion techniques, including immunoelectrophoresis, single and double radial immunodiffusion (Mancini, Ouchterlony) and electroimmunodiffusion (Laurell). It has not been tested for use in nephelometry, ELISA or immunochemistry, but this does not exclude such use if proper controls are included.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Format: Lyophilized

Concentration: Total protein and IgG concentrations in the antiserum are comparable to those in pooled rabbit serum. No foreign proteins added. Antibody titre: Precipitin titre not less than 1:32 when tested against normal human milk in agar block immuno-diffusion titra

Buffer: Delipidated, heat inactivated, lyophilized, stable whole antiserum

Preservative: Without preservative

Storage: 4 °C/-20 °C

Storage Comment: The lyophilized antiserum is shipped at ambient temperature and may be stored at +4°C, prolonged storage at or below -20°C. Reconstitute the lyophilized antiserum by adding 1 ml sterile distilled water. Dilutions may be prepared by adding phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2). Repeated thawing and freezing should be avoided. If a slight precipitation occurs upon storage, this should be removed by centrifugation. It will not affect the performance of the antiserum. Diluted antiserum should be stored at +4°C, not ref rozen, and preferably used the same day.

Target: LALBA (Lactalbumin, alpha- (LALBA))

Alternative Name: alpha-Lactalbumin (LALBA Products)

Synonyms: LALBA antibody, AW208827 antibody, a-LACTA antibody, alfaLA antibody, lactalbumin alpha antibody, lactalbumin, alpha antibody, LALBA antibody, Lalba antibody

Background: The defined antibody specificity is directed to alpha-lactalbumin as tested against human milk. Its presence can also be demonstrated in udder tissues. When tested in immunoelectrophoresis and double radial immunodiffusion against serum no reaction is obtained.
