Description

Description: The reactivity of the antiserum is restricted to the Fc part of the IgA molecule as tested in immunoelectrophoresis and radial immunodiffusion. In immunoelectrophoresis using various antiserum concentrations against normal goat serum only IgA is precipitated. No precipitation reaction is obtained with purified IgG, IgM, and IgG/Fab fragments. In precipitating techniques as immunoelectrophoresis and radial immunodiffusion to identify the presence of IgA in goat serum or other body fluids or to determine its concentration. To prepare an immunoadsorbent for the purification of goat IgA from serum or exocrine secretions. Antisera to IgA do not discriminate between serum IgA (monomeric and dimeric) and higher molecular forms as secretory IgA. This antiserum is not intended for use in non-precipitating antibodybinding or other highly sensitive assays. This does not exclude such use if proper controls are include.

Storage Note

The lyophilized antiserum is shipped at ambient temperature and may be stored at +4°C; prolonged storage at or below -20°C. 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 refrozen, and preferably used the same day.

Application Notes

Precipitation assays. In immunoelectrophoresis use 2 µl serum or equivalent against 120 µl antiserum. In double radial immunodiffusion use a rosette arrangement with 10 µl antiserum in 3 mm diameter centre well and 2 µl serum samples (neat and serially diluted) in 2 mm diameter peripheral wells.
