Overview
This is a polyclonal anti-cry1Ia antibody raised in Rabbit, with confirmed utility in ELISA, WB. It is designed to detect cry1Ia protein in Bacillus thuringiensis and supports researchers working in others contexts.
Key elements and design rationale
- Immunogen: Recombinant Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki cry1Ia protein (97-180aa) — determines the epitope region; confirm compatibility with sample preparation and expected post-translational modifications.
- Host species (Rabbit): Requires anti-rabbit-IgG secondary reagents for indirect detection.
- Polyclonal format: Recognizes multiple epitopes for robust signal; inherent lot-to-lot variability requires appropriate controls.
- Isotype (IgG): Matched secondary antibodies and isotype controls required. Compatible with standard Protein A/G purification workflows.
- Purification (Affinity chromatography): Enriches for specific immunoglobulin classes; reduces non-specific background vs. crude antisera.
Biological background
cry1Ia (also referred to as Pesticidal crystal protein Cry1Ia (81 kDa crystal protein) (Crystaline entomocidal protoxin) (Insecticidal delta-endotoxin CryII(a)), cry1Ia, CGCryV cryII(a) cryV cryV1) is a protein target studied in Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki systems. Expression, subcellular localization, and post-translational modifications vary across cell types and disease states — factors critical to antibody-based detection design. Consult UniProt, NCBI Gene, and primary literature for current annotation of cry1Ia biology in others.
Common research applications
- ELISA: Quantification of soluble target in biological fluids or culture supernatants. Ensure samples are within the linear detection range.
- WB: Confirms target molecular weight and distinguishes isoforms under denaturing conditions.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Isotype controls: Use an isotype-matched (IgG from Rabbit) control at equivalent concentration to assess non-specific background.
- Cross-reactivity: Polyclonal preparations may cross-react with related proteins. Orthogonal validation (siRNA, KO lysate) is recommended.
- Matrix effects: Sample matrix can affect performance; pilot dilution linearity and spike-recovery experiments are advised for quantitative studies.
- Species reactivity: Confirmed for Bacillus thuringiensis. Extrapolation to untested species requires empirical validation.
This product is a polyclonal antibody purified from rabbit antiserum.
cry1Ia is a protein target in Bacillus thuringiensis biology. This polyclonal antibody raised in Rabbit is designed to detect cry1Ia in ELISA, WB applications, with IgG isotype.
Reported reactive against Bacillus thuringiensis. Immunogen derived from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki. Cross-reactivity with other species should not be assumed without documented data or empirical testing.
Reported for ELISA, WB. Each format requires independent dilution optimization and appropriate controls. Unlisted applications require empirical testing.
This non-conjugated IgG antibody requires a compatible secondary. Select anti-rabbit IgG secondary conjugated to your preferred reporter (HRP, AP, fluorophore, or biotin), matched to IgG.
(1) Isotype control — IgG from Rabbit at matching concentration; (2) Positive control — known cry1Ia-expressing cell/tissue; (3) Negative control — knockdown/knockout sample for specificity; (4) Dilution linearity — verify proportional signal decrease in your matrix.
