Uses
Anti-Horse IgG (whole molecule)-Alkaline Phosphatase antibody is suitable for use in direct ELISA (1:30,000) and western blot (1:30,000).
General Description
Affinity isolated antibody is obtained from rabbit antiserum by immunospecific purification, which removes essentially all rabbit serum proteins, including immunoglobulins, which do not specifically bind to horse IgG. The horse IgG is present majorly in the serum, mucoasal surface, urinary tract, lungs and colostrum.
Biochem/physiol Actions
The equine IgG subclasses elicit a strong respiratory burst by interacting with the interact with FcγR receptor peripheral blood leukocytes and with the Fc receptors on effector cells. It is useful as a monoclonal antibody in treating non-human primates (NHPs) infected with Ebola virus. It is used as a component in commercial equine IgG test called the SNAP Foal IgG test kit, for the diagnosis of failure of transfer of passive immunity (FTPI) in foals.
