Dog Serum

As a qualitative serum with an optimized protein content to study the normal protein composition of dog serum. To identify or quantitate a normal serum protein component using a variety of immunodiffusion techniques including immunoelectrophoresis, single and double radial immunodiffusion and electroimmunodiffusion. As a reference serum in nephelometry and other automated precipitation techniques. As a blocking agent or as a negative control in non-precipitating antibody-binding assays e.g. in serodiagnostic immunofluorescence and immunoenzyme tests. This normal reference serum does not contain assigned values for individual proteins but can be used as an internal relative standard for quantitative protein assays such as double radial immunodiffusion (Mancini, Fahey), ELISA, Western immunoblotting and electroimmunodiffusion (Laurell), expressing the results obtained with the serum sample under investigation as a percentage of the protein concentration in the normal reference serum.

Pooled normal Dog Serum. The NDS dog serum was obtained from normal, healthy dogs of the Bouvier breed. Regulations are in place in the Netherlands for these dogs to have had some form of vaccination._x000D_ _x000D_ The Normal Dog Serum (NDS) was derived from dogs that were tested against infectious diseases and should be pathogen-free. Nevertheless the product should be handled only by qualified persons and appropriate precautions should be taken in its handling and disposal, and of all associated materials.

Normal serum protein reference sera are shipped lyophilized at ambient temperature. After arrival store at +4°C. Prolonged storage may be at -20°C. After opening the vial, the lyophilized content is reconstituted by adding 1 mL of sterile distilled water, mixed gently by inversion until complete dissolution is obtained. Allow to stand at ambient temperature for 5-10 minutes to reach equilibrium. Reconstituted serum may be stored frozen.
