Albumin antibody (FITC)

Catalog No. ABIN458723

Product Details anti-Albumin Antibody (FITC)

Target: Albumin (ALB)

Reactivity: Rat

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This Albumin antibody is conjugated to FITC

Application: Immunofluorescence (IF)

Specificity: Inter-species cross-reactivity is a normal feature of antibodies to mammalian serum proteins, since 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 fraction has been tested for cross-reactivity by double radial immunodiffusion against several species sera with the following results: bovine - chicken - dog - goat - guinea pig ++ horse + human ± monkey ± mouse ++ rabbit - sheep - swine ±

Characteristics: Fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated IgG fraction of polyclonal rabbit antiserum to rat albumin

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 precipitating activity are selected for fractionation by salt-precipitation and purification of the IgG fraction by DEAE-chromatography.

Immunogen: Highly purified albumin isolated from rat serum. Freund’s complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.

Isotype: IgG

Application Details

Application Notes: As reagent for the direct detection of albumin in rat cells, tissues and body fluids in immunofluorescence techniques. 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 1:20 and 1:80.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Format: Lyophilized

Concentration: IgG protein concentration 10 mg/ml. Fluorescein/IgG protein molar ratio (F/P) is approximately 2.7. 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 product 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 in the dark 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 Albumin

Target: Albumin (ALB)

Alternative Name: Albumin (ALB Products)

Synonyms: PRO0883 antibody, PRO0903 antibody, PRO1341 antibody, ALB antibody, CSA antibody, Alb-1 antibody, Alb1 antibody, Albza antibody, LOC100136344 antibody, alb-a antibody, alb-b antibody, albumin antibody, serum albumin 1 antibody, albumin S homeolog antibody, ALB antibody, Alb antibody, LOC100136344 antibody, alb.S antibody

Background: The defined antibody specificity is directed to albumin as tested against rat sera. In immuno- electrophoresis and double radial immunodiffusion (Ouchterlony), using various antiserum concentrations against appropriate concentrations of the immunogen, a single characteristic precipitin line is obtained which shows a reaction of identity with the precipitin lines obtained against rat serum and the purified albumin.
