Merck, SAB4600135-50UL, Anti-Chicken IgY (H+L), highly cross-adsorbed, CF™ 633 antibody produced in goat

General description
Immunoglobulin Y is produced in birds. It is generally related to mammalian IgG. However, IgY has different characteristics compared to mammalian IgG. For example, IgY does not bind to mammalian complements nor rheumatoid factor, which are present in mammalian serum and anti-mammalian IgG antibodies, which often cross-react to IgG from different mammalian species, exhibit low cross-reactivity to IgY. These characteristics of IgY is beneficial when it is used as a biochemical/clinical reagent. Immunoglobulin Y present in chicken blood serum has the capability to pass across the follicular epithelium of the ovary and aggregate in the yolk during oogenesis. Structurally, IgY and mammalian IgG differ in the heavy chain with the molecular weight of 68,000 and 50,000 respectively. Mammalian IgG has slightly higher stability compared to IgY.
