Overview
This is a polyclonal anti-IgY antibody raised in Rabbit, conjugated with FITC. It is designed to detect IgY protein in Chicken and supports researchers working in others contexts.
Key elements and design rationale
- Immunogen: Chicken Yolk Immunoglobulin — 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 (Caprylic acid and ammonium sulfate precipitation): Enriches for specific immunoglobulin classes; reduces non-specific background vs. crude antisera.
- FITC conjugate: Direct fluorescence (Ex ~490/Em ~525 nm). Protect from light; use antifade reagents for slide-based applications.
Biological background
IgY is a protein target studied in Chicken 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 IgY biology in others.
Common research applications
- Refer to product documentation for confirmed application data.
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 Chicken. Extrapolation to untested species requires empirical validation.
This product is a polyclonal antibody purified from rabbit antiserum.
IgY is a protein target in Chicken biology. This polyclonal antibody raised in Rabbit is designed to detect IgY in immunoassay applications, with IgG isotype.
Reported reactive against Chicken. Immunogen derived from Chicken. Cross-reactivity with other species should not be assumed without documented data or empirical testing.
Application data not specified; consult the product datasheet or contact BioHippo support.
FITC direct fluorescence (Ex ~490/Em ~525 nm). Protect from light; use antifade for slide applications.
(1) Isotype control — IgG from Rabbit at matching concentration; (2) Positive control — known IgY-expressing cell/tissue; (3) Negative control — knockdown/knockout sample for specificity; (4) Dilution linearity — verify proportional signal decrease in your matrix.
