Goat anti Monkey secretory component (free and bound), conjugated with Horseradish peroxidase

Tested in immunoelectrophoresis and double radial immunodiffusion against a panel of appropriate secretions and purified immunoglobulin isotypes. The antiserum reacts with both bound secretory component (secretory IgA) and with free secretory component. In immunoelectrophoresis against normal monkey milk, using a high electroendosmosis agar plate, free secretory component ism precipitated in the alpha-2 region. This antiserum does not react with other molecular forms of IgA, or with any other secretory or plasma protein and double radial immunodiffusion. In enzyme-immunocytochemical and immunohistochemical staining of free or bound secretory component at the cellular and subcellular level. In non-isotopic assay methodology (e.g. ELISA, Western blotting) in monkey milk or other secretions. This immunoconjugate is not pre-diluted. The optimum working dilution of each conjugate should be established by titration before being used. Excess labelled antibody must be avoided because it may cause high unspecific background staining and interfere with the specific signal.
