Application

Binding of horse anti-diphtheria toxin IgG was analyzed by ELISA using alkaline phosphatase-conjugated rabbit anti-horse IgG.

Anti-Horse IgG (whole molecule)-Alkaline Phosphatase antibody is suitable for use in direct ELISA (1:30,000) and western blot (1:30,000).

Anti-Horse IgG (whole molecule)-Alkaline Phosphatase antibody produced in rabbit has been used in indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Biochem/physiol Actions

The equine IgG subclasses elicit a strong respiratory burst by interacting with the interact with FcγR receptor peripheral blood leukocytes and with the Fc receptors on effector cells. It is useful as a monoclonal antibody in treating non-human primates (NHPs) infected with Ebola virus. It is used as a component in commercial equine IgG test called the SNAP Foal IgG test kit, for the diagnosis of failure of transfer of passive immunity (FTPI) in foals.

General description

Horse IgGs have seven subclasses ranging from IgG1 to IgG7. Equine IgG antibodies mainly regulate mucosal and systemic immunological responses and thereby, provide protection against disease-causing pathogens such as Streptococcus equi., and the horse flu virus. Horse IgG may also function to control the advancement of EHV-1 infection . Anti-Horse IgG (whole molecule)-Alkaline Phosphatase antibody is specific for IgG in horses.

Affinity isolated antibody is obtained from rabbit antiserum by immunospecific purification, which removes essentially all rabbit serum proteins, including immunoglobulins, which do not specifically bind to horse IgG. The horse IgG is present majorly in the serum, mucoasal surface, urinary tract, lungs and colostrum.
