This Rabbit Polyclonal antibody specifically detects LALBA in WB, ICC and ELISA. It exhibits reactivity toward Human.

Quick Overview for LALBA antibody (ABIN458233)

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

Reactivity: Human

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This LALBA antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Immunocytochemistry (ICC), ELISA

Product Details anti-LALBA Antibody

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: IgG fraction of 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. Hyperimmune antisera with strong activity are selected for fractionation by salt-precipitation and purification of the IgG (7S) fraction by DEAE-chromatography.

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: The cytochemical grade allows the use in different types of highly sensitive immunoassays on appropriately treated cell and tissue substrates, in radioimmunoassay, for the production of immuno-conjugates 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 1:250, in ELISA and comparable non-precipitating antibody-binding assays are between 1:500 and 1:5,000.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Format: Lyophilized

Concentration: IgG protein concentration 10 mg/ml. No foreign proteins added.

Buffer: Purified hyperimmune rabbit IgG lyophilized from a solution in phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2).

Preservative: Without preservative

Storage: 4 °C/-20 °C

Storage Comment: The lyophilized IgG fraction is shipped at ambient temperature and may be stored at +4°C, prolonged storage at or below -20°C. It is reconstituted by adding 1 ml sterile di stilled water, spun down to remove insoluble particles, divided into small aliquots, frozen and stored at or below -20°C. Prior to use, an aliquot is thawed slowly at ambient temperature, spun down again and used to prepare working dilutions by adding sterile phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2). Repeated thawing and freezing should be avoided. Working dilutions should be stored at +4°C, not refrozen, and preferably used the same day. If a slight precipitation occurs upon storage, this should be removed by centrifugation. It will not affect the performance of the product.

Target Details for LALBA

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

Alternative Name: alpha-Lactalbumin

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.
