Product Code Product Name Goat anti Human alpha-1 antitrypsin Size 1 ml Price (USD) $125 Background The reactivity of the antiserum is restricted to alpha-1antitrypsin. In immunoelectrophoresis and radial immunodiffusion (Ouchterlony), using various antiserum concentrations against fresh normal human plasma a single precipitin line is obtained which shows a reaction of identity with the precipitin line obtained with purified alpha-1antitrypsin. No reaction is obtained with any other plasma protein component or serum. In precipitating techniques as immunoelectrophoresis and single or double radial immunodiffusion to identify the presence of alpha-1antitrypsin in human plasma or other body fluids or to determine its concentration. The presence of non precipitating antibodies has not been assayed. This does not exclude the use of the antiserum in more sensitive non-precipitating antibody-binding techniques if proper controls are included. Host Goat Species Reactivity Human Product Usage Precipitating polyclonal Goat antiSerum to Human alpha-1 antitrypsin Product Type Primary Antibodies Applications Immunoprecipitation Fields of Interest Cardiovascular Product Source Alpha-1 antitrypsin is a serine protease inhibitor. It has a molecular weight of 54,000, its mean concentration in normal serum is 2.5 mg/ml. The highly purified immunogen is isolated from pooled normal plasma. Freund Product Formulation Delipidated, heat inactivated, lyophilized, stable whole antiserum No preservative added. Total protein and IgG concentrations in the antiserum are comparable to those of pooled normal goat serum. No foreign proteins added. Product Specificity The antiSerum does not cross react with any other component of Human plasma. Inter-species cross-reactivity is a normal feature of antibodies to plasma proteins since they frequently share antigenic determinants. Cross-reactivity of this antiSerum has not been tested in detail, however in double radial immunodiffusion a reaction has been found with Rhesus Monkey, Cynomolgus, Baboon and Chimpanzee; no reaction with Mouse. Storage Conditions Lyophilized at +4
