Purified free human secretory component isolated from pooled milk is used for immunization. Freund's complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.

Inter-species cross-reactivity is a normal feature of antibodies to serum proteins, since homologous proteins of different species frequently share antigenic determinants. The degree of cross-reactivity is also dependent of the concentration of the reactants and he sensitivity of the method. Cross-reactivity of this product has not been tested in detail.

Tested in immunoelectrophoresis and double radial immunodiffusion against a panel of appropriate secretions and purified immunoglobulin isotypes. The antiserum reacts with both bound secretory component (secretory IgA) and with free secretory component. In immunoelectrophoresis against normal human milk, using a high electroendosmosis agar plate, free secretory component is precipitated in the alpha-2 region. This antiserum does not react with other molecular forms of IgA, or with any other secretory or plasma protein and double radial immunodiffusion.

The lyophilized IgG fraction is shipped at ambient temperature and may be stored at 4C; prolonged storage at or below -20C. Prior to use, an aliquot is thawed slowly at ambient temperature, spun down again and used to prepare working dilutions by adding sterile phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2). Repeated thawing and freezing should be avoided. Working dilutions should be stored at 4C, not refrozen, and preferably used the same day. If a slight precipitation occurs upon storage, this should be removed by centrifugation. It will not affect the performance of the product

Protein G purified

Reconstitute by by adding 1 ml sterile distilled water, spun down to remove insoluble particles, divided into small aliquots, frozen and stored at or below -20C.

Lyophilized from PBS (pH 7.2)
