This purified rabbit BSA (Bovine Serum Albumin) polyclonal antibody can be used for the detection of BSA in tracer studies or in protease assays. BSA polyclonal antibody demonstrates high specificity for BSA and little or no cross-reactivity to other serum proteins. Applications that BSA polyclonal antibody can be used in are enzyme and fluorescence immunoassays and blots, and cell or tissue immunostaining.

Antibody Specifications:

• Applications: Validated applications for BSA Polyclonal Antibody are ELISA, immunocytochemistry, immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry (Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded), immunoprecipitation, and western blotting.
• Host Species: The host species of the BSA antibody is rabbit.
• Reactivity: Detects Bovine Serum Albumin.
• Product Size: Rabbit anti-BSA polyclonal antibody is available in a 0.5 ml pack.

Anti-bovine serum albumin (anti-BSA) antibody can be used for the detection of BSA in tracer studies or in protease assays. Preconjugation of the anti-BSA with any of our numerous BSA conjugates permits their phagocytosis via Fc receptor. For example, anti-BSA antibody complexed with dichlorodihydrofluorescein BSA has been used for directly measuring the kinetics of Fc receptor-mediated internalization and subsequent oxidative burst in phagovacuoles. Immune complex of anti-BSA with heavily labeled BSA (DQ™ Green BSA) was employed for flow cytometric monitoring of endocytosis, via the Fc receptors, and subsequent digestion in phagolysosomes of human neutrophils.

Molecular Probes offers a highly purified anti-BSA rabbit IgG fraction (A-11133). This antibody demonstrates high specificity for BSA and little or no crossreactivity to other serum proteins. The antibody can be used in enzyme and fluorescence immunoassays and blots, cell or tissue immunostaining. The product can be used as a precipitating antibody or as an immuno-adsorbant when attached to solid supports. For detection of this rabbit antibody, Molecular Probes offers a variety of second-step reagents labeled with biotin or with a wide range of fluorophores.
