Quick Overview for Lactoferrin antibody (HRP) (ABIN458281)

Target: Lactoferrin (LTF) (Lactotransferrin (LTF))

Reactivity: Monkey

Host: Goat

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This Lactoferrin antibody is conjugated to HRP

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

Product Details anti-Lactoferrin Antibody (HRP)

Specificity: The antiserum does not cross-react with any other monkey plasma proteins as tested in gel-diffusion techniques. Inter-species cross-reactivity is a normal feature of antibodies to plasma or milk proteins, since homologous proteins of different species frequently share antigenic determinants. of this antiserum has not been tested in detail , however a strong cross-reaction with lactoferrin in human milk has been observed

Characteristics: Horseradish peroxidase-conjugated IgG fraction of polyclonal goat antiserum to monkey lactoferrin

Purification: Adsorption: Immunoaffinity adsorbed using insolubilized fractions of monkey serum and lactoferrin-depleted monkey milk as required, to eliminate antibodies reacting with other monkey serum or milk proteins. The use of insolubilized adsorption antigens prevents the presence of excess adsorbent protein or immune complexes in the antiserum. Hyperimmune antisera with strong precipitating activity are selected for fractionation by saltprecipitation and purification of the IgG fraction by DEAE-chromatography.

Immunogen: Exocrine organs produce various secretions, each with its characteristic function. Proteins found in secretions may be divided into two groups: those specific for the particular secretion, and plasma proteins independent of the type of exocrine cells. Lactoferrin belongs to the first group. It is an iron containing protein with a molecular weight of 75,000 and it is antigenically different from transferrin. Lactoferrin has a slight anti-microbial action. Originally identified in milk, its presence has also been demonstrated in other secretions as saliva, semen and tears. The immunogen has been isolated from rhesus monkey milk. Freund’s complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.

Isotype: IgG

Application Details

Application Notes: In enzyme-immunocytochemical and immunohistochemical techniques for the detection of lactoferrin at the cellular and subcellular level in appropriately treated cell and tissue substrates, as detection reagent in non-isotopic methodology and solid phase immunochemistry (e.g. ELISA, Western blotting). 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 for histochemical and cytochemical use are usually between 1:100 and 1:500, in ELISA and comparable non-precipitating antibody-binding assays between 1:1,000 and 1:7,000.
