Application

B7786 Rabbit Anti-fd Bactieriophage may be used to sort phage display libraries (antibody, peptide, etc.) with expressed proteins fused to either the gene III or gene VIII protein of filamentous bacteriophage. The product may also be used in "phage ELISA" offering specific activity for detection of recombinant bacteriophage. It will also function as a capture antibody when coated directly on microwell plates or as primary detection antibody for specifically captured fd or M13 bacteriophage.

Anti-fd Bacteriophage antibody produced in rabbit may be used in ELISA at a dilution of 1:1000. It was used to in antiphage immunohistochemistry.

Immunogen

fd bacteriophage

Physical form

Solution supplied in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide

Preparation Note

Anti-fd Bacteriophage is developed in rabbit using repeated injections of fd bacteriophage as the immunogen. Whole antiserum is fractionated and then further purified by ion-exchange chromatography to provide the IgG fraction of antiserum which is essentially free of other rabbit serum proteins.

Specificity

The antibody binds specifically to phage coat proteins of fd phage or M13 phage and thus may act as a capture antibody when coated directly on multiwell plates or as a primary detection antibody for specifically captured fd or M13 phage. The antibody may be useful in rapidly sorting large phage display libraries (antibody, peptide, etc.) with the expressed proteins fused to either the gene III or to the gene VIII protein of the filamentous phage. The antibody may be used as a reagent in "phage ELISA" offering sensitive and specific activity for detection of recombinant phages.
