Clone: Polyclonal
Background: The reactivity of the antiserum is restricted to alpha-1 antichymotrypsin. In immunoelectrophoresis 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 immunodiffusion (Mancini, Ouchterlony) to identify the presence of alpha-1 antichymotrypsin 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: Alpha-1 antichymotrypsin is a protease inhibitor with a molecular weight of 68.000. Its concentration in fetal human serum is low at birth, but the concentration increases rapidly to normal plasma levels of about is 4.5 μg/ml. Alpha-1 antichymotrypsin is regulated like a an acute phase reactant. 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 alpha-1 antichymotrypsin.
Formulation: Delipidated, heat inactivated, lyophilized, stable antiserum. No preservative added. Total protein and IgG concentration are comparable to those of pooled normal sheep serum.
UniProt: P01011
