Uses
Anti-Horse IgG (whole molecule)-Peroxidase antibody produced in rabbit has been used in:
- enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
- HeV soluble G
- indirect ELISA (HeVsG iELISA)
General Description
Horse IgG is a plasma B cell derived antibody isotype defined by its heavy chain. IgG is the most abundant antibody isotype found in horse serum. IgG crosses the placental barrier, is a complement activator and binds to the Fc-receptors on phagocytic cells. The level of IgG may vary with the status of disease or infection.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Equine IgG antibodies mainly regulate mucosal and systemic immunological responses and thereby, provide protection against disease-causing pathogens such as Streptococcus equi, and the horse flu virus. Horse IgG may also function to control the advancement of EHV-1 infection .
