Alpha-lactalbumin antibodies are immunological tools designed to target alpha-lactalbumin, a small, calcium-binding whey protein predominantly found in mammalian milk. This protein plays a critical role in lactose synthesis as a component of the lactose synthase complex. In humans, it is abundant in breast milk and serves as a nutritional source for infants, while also exhibiting potential bioactive properties, including immunomodulatory and apoptotic effects in certain cancer cells.

Antibodies against alpha-lactalbumin are widely used in research and diagnostics. They enable the detection and quantification of this protein in biological samples, such as milk products or serum, aiding studies on lactation biology, infant nutrition, and hypersensitive reactions to dairy. In clinical contexts, these antibodies help investigate alpha-lactalbumin's role in diseases, including breast cancer, where its expression patterns may serve as a biomarker.

Most alpha-lactalbumin antibodies are produced in hosts like rabbits or mice using purified native or recombinant protein as immunogens. Monoclonal antibodies offer high specificity for precise applications like immunohistochemistry or Western blotting, whereas polyclonal antibodies may capture broader epitopes for assays requiring sensitivity. Validation typically includes testing cross-reactivity with related proteins (e.g., lysozyme) to ensure specificity. Commercial antibodies often comply with ISO standards for food allergen testing, reflecting their utility in quality control for dairy processing. Their versatility makes them essential in both basic research and industrial applications.
