alpha Lactalbumin (LALBA) Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Specifications

Product Data
Applications	ELISA, IF, IHC
Recommend Dilution	ELISA. Immunocytochemistry. Immunohistochemistry on Frozen Sections. (In)direct Immunofluorescence. Can be used to identify and measure IgG, antigen or antibody, at the cellular and subcellular level by immunofluorescence staining of appropriately treated cell and tissue substrates, and to demonstrate circulating antibodies in serodiagnostic microbiology and autoimmune diseases; to identify a specific antigen or immune complex using a reference antibody of horse origin in the middle layer of the indirect test procedure. 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. Recommended Working Dilutions: 1/10-1/50.
Reactivity	Human
Host	Rabbit
Clonality	Polyclonal
Immunogen	Highly purified alpha-lactalbumin isolated from Human milk. Freund’s complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.
Specificity	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. Cross-reactivity: 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.
Formulation	PBS, pH 7.2 without preservatives and foreign proteins Label: FITC State: Lyophilized purified IgG Hyperimmune fraction Absorption emission: 492 nm - 515 nm Molar radio: Fluorochrome/IgG protein molar ratio (F/P): ~1.4
Reconstitution Method	Restore by adding 1.0 ml of sterile distilled water
Concentration	lot specific
Purification	Hyperimmune antisera with strong precipitating activity are selected for fractionation by saltprecipitation and purification of the IgG fraction by DEAE-chromatography.
Conjugation	FITC
Storage Condition	Store lyophilized at 2-8°C for 6 months or at -20°C long term. After reconstitution store the antibody undiluted at 2-8°C for one month or (in aliquots) at -20°C long term. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
Gene Name	lactalbumin alpha
Database Link	Entrez Gene 3906 Human UniProt ID P00709
Background	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.
Synonyms	LALBA, LYZL7, Alpha-lactalbumin, Lactose synthase B protein, Lysozyme-like protein 7
Note	Conjugation procedure: A proprietary technique for the binding of FITC is used, followed by several purification steps to remove free reactants and protein aggregates. After each step activity and specificity are tested in a variety of techniques. The conjugate is lyophilized to assure stability and long shelf life.
