Alkaline phosphatase-conjugated rabbit anti-monkey IgG antibody has been used as a secondary antibody in enzyme linked immunsorbent assay (ELISA) to detect the level of IgG in serum from treated marmoset monkeys. It has also been used for western blot analysis of to identify maternal IgGs in serum from Rhesus monkeys after lentiviral gene transfer.
IgGs are glycoprotein antibodies that modulate several immune responses. Serum IgG levels of rhesus monkeys are comparable to that of men, hence these monkeys are often used as models for studying immunological disorders. Thus, anti-monkey IgGs can be useful tools for the detection and localization of monkey IgGs. Anti-Monkey IgG (whole molecule)-Alkaline Phosphatase antibody binds to monkey, baboon and marmoset IgGs.
