Background
The reactivity of the antiserum is restricted to determinants on the CH2 domain of IgA. It reacts with both subclasses of IgA as tested in haemagglutination, haemagglutination inhibition, direct binding enzyme immunoassay, competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay, immunoblotting, immunoprecipitation, latex agglutination assay and histochemistry (Results of an IUIS/WHO collaborative study, Mestecky J. et al. (1996) J. Immunol. Methods 193, 103-148). To identify the presence of IgA in human serum, other body fluids, cell and tissue substrates and to determine its concentration in techniques as radio immuno assay, ELISA, indirect immunoperoxidase and immunofluorescence staining of cytoplasmic IgA, haemagglutination and immunoblotting. The optimum working dilution is an assay-related characteristic and should always be determined by titration. For histochemical use optimum dilutions are mostly from 1:50 to 1:200; in ELISA from 1:200 upwards; in Western blotting from 1:500 upwards. These data should be interpreted as general recommendations only.

Source
Highly purified monoclonal IgA isolated from human serum.

Product
Purified mouse IgG1 kappa lyophilized from a solution in phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.2) IgG concentration is 0.4mg/ml. No foreign proteins added. Reconstitute the lyophilized ascites by adding 0.5 ml sterile distilled water.

Formulation: Purified mouse IgG1 kappa lyophilized from a solution in phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.2) IgG concentration is 0.4mg/ml. No foreign proteins added.

Specificity
Purified monoclonal Mouse antibody to Human IgA, isotype specific

Species Reactivity: The antiSerum does not react with any other component of the Human Ig system or any other Human plasma protein as tested. This antiSerum has not been tested for cross-reactivity with other species.

Applications
Indirect immunofluorescence,ELISA.

Storage
The lyophilized product is shipped at ambient temperature and may be stored at +4°C; prolonged storage at or below -20°C. Dilutions may be prepared by adding phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2). Avoid repeated thawing and freezing. If a slight precipitation occurs upon storage, this should be removed by centrifugation and will not affect the performance of the product. Diluted solutions should be stored at +4°C, not refrozen, and preferably used the same day
