Clone: Polyclonal
Background: The reactivity of the antiserum is restricted to inter alpha trypsin inhibitor. In immunoelectro- phoresis and radial immunodiffusion, using various antiserum concentrations against human plasma a single precipitin line is obtained and shows a reaction of full identity with the purified immunogen. In precipitating techniques as immunoelectrophoresis and single and double radial immuno- diffusion (Mancini, Ouchterlony) to identify the presence of inter alpha trypsin inhibitor 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 non-precipitating antibody-binding techniques if proper controls are included.
Source: Inter alpha trypsin inhibitor is a proteinase inhibitor with a molecular weight of 160,000. Its mean concentration in human plasma is about 400 μg/ml. It has been isolated as a homogenous protein for use in the antiserum production. Freund’s complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.
Specificity: Precipitating polyclonal Sheep antiSerum to Human inter alpha trypsin inhibitor.
Formulation: Delipidated, heat inactivated, lyophilized, stable IgG fraction in _ diluted normal serum. No preservative added. IgG fraction 13 mg/ml in normal sheep serum diluted 1/2 with PBS. No foreign proteins added.
