Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Human IgGs are glycoprotein antibodies that contain two equivalent light chains and a pair of identical heavy chains. IgGs have four distinct isoforms, ranging from IgG1 to IgG4. These antibodies regulate immunological responses to allergy and pathogenic infections. IgGs have also been implicated in complement fixation and autoimmune disorders._x000D_ Goat anti-Human IgA (α-chain specific)-alkaline phosphatase antibody is specific for human IgA when tested against human IgA, IgG, IgM, Bence Jones kappa and lambda myeloma proteins._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ human IgA_x000D_ Application_x000D_ Goat anti-Human IgA (α-chain specific)-alkaline phosphatase antibody has been used to quantitate serum antibody to H. pylori using ELISA techniques._x000D_ Milk samples from 10 mothers were probed for bound milk IgA by western blot using alkaline-phosphatase goat anti-human IgA antibody.Elisa Assays were performed using alkaline phosphatase conjugated gaot anti-human IgA chain specific antibody (1:1000) to detect IgA immunoglobulins in serum and seminal plasma samples from infertile men._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Solution in 0.05 M Tris, pH 8.0, containing 1% bovine serum albumin, 50% glycerol , 1 mM MgCl2, and 15 mM sodium azide._x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals.
