Application

Anti-Bovine IgG (whole molecule)-Peroxidase antibody produced in rabbit has been used in:enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) plaquefocus-forming assays

Biochem/physiol Actions

Bovine IgGs are glycoprotein antibodies that regulate immune responses in herds. These antibodies inhibit TLR5 activation upon immunization with native H7 flagellin. Bovine IgG levels can be used for the detection of Johne′s disease and milk adulteration.
