Merck, SAB3700182-1.5MG, Anti-Chicken IgG F(ab′)2-Peroxidase antibody produced in rabbit

General description
Antibody format: IgG
Chicken IgG (immunoglobulin G) is also referred to as IgY. IgY is an antibody produced in birds. IgY is similar to mammalian IgG but differs in some characteristics from IgG. IgY does not bind with mammalian complements nor rheumatoid factor, which are present in mammalian serum and anti-mammalian IgG antibodies. During oogenesis in chicken, IgY can pass across the follicular epithelium of the ovary and aggregate in the yolk. The heavy chain of IgY and mammalian IgG has a molecular weight of 68kDa and 50kDa, respectively. The structure of mammalian IgG is considered more stable than that of IgY. IgG antibodies, which often cross-react to IgG from different mammalian species, exhibit low cross-reactivity to IgY. Thus, IgY is beneficial when it is used as a biochemical/clinical reagent.

Biochem/physiol Actions
This product was prepared from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography using Chicken IgG coupled to agarose. Assay by immunoelectrophoresis resulted in a single precipitin arc against Anti-Peroxidase, Anti-Rabbit Serum, Chicken IgG, Chicken IgG F(ab′)2 and Chicken Serum. No reaction was observed against Chicken IgG F(c).
