Goat anti-Human IgA (alpha chain), TRITC conjugated, min, cross-reactivity to bovine, mouse, rabbit serum

Goat anti-human IgA (alpha chain), Rhodamine (TRITC-tetramethylrhodamine-5-isothiocyanate) conjugated, is a secondary antibody which binds to human IgA in immunological assays. TRITC has Amax = 550 nm, Emax = 570 nm. Antibodies are adsorbed against bovine, mouse, rabbit serum and affinity purified using solid phase human IgA.

This antibody reacts with the alpha chains on human IgA based on immunoelectrophoresis.Minimum cross-reactivity is observed to the light chains or non-IgA human serum proteins and bovine, mouse, rabbit serum based on immunoelectrophoresis.Antibody is supplied in 10 mM sodium phosphate, 150 mM sodium chloride, pH 7.2, 1% (w/v) BSA, protease/IgG free and 0.05 % (w/v) sodium azide as preservative.

Store lyophilized material at 2-8°C. For long time storage after reconstitution, dilute the antibody solution with glycerol to a final concentration of 50% glycerol and store as liquid at -20°C, to prevent loss of enzymatic activity. For example, if you have reconstituted 1 mg of antibody in 1.1 ml of sterile water add 1.1 ml of glycerol. Such solution will not freeze in -20°C. If you are using a 1:5000 dilution prior to diluting with glycerol, then you would need to use a 1:2500 dilution after adding glycerol. Prepare working dilution prior to use and then discard, Be sure to mix well but without foaming.
