HCA090 is specific for porcine interferon gamma (IFN gamma). IFN gamma is a type II interferon, which is structurally unrelated to type I interferons. Interferons regulate innate and adaptive immunity to viral infection. IFN gamma has anti viral activity and is secreted by a wide range of cells including T-cells, B-cells, NK cells and professional antigen presenting cells such as macrophages and dendritic cells.
HCA090 is recommended for use as a capture antibody in ELISA assays to detect native porcine IFN gamma. MCA1783B is recommended as a detection reagent.
Product Form
A bivalent human recombinant Fab selected from the HuCAL® GOLD phage display library, expressed inE. coli. This Fab fragment is dimerized via a helix-turn-helix motif. The antibody is tagged with a myc-tag (EQKLISEEDL) and a his-tag (HHHHHH) at the C-terminus of the antibody heavy chain. This antibody is supplied lyophilised.
Storage
Prior to reconstitution store at +4oC.
After reconstitution store at -20oC.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.

Where this product has not been tested for use in a particular technique this does not necessarily exclude its use in such procedures. Suggested working dilutions are given as a guide only. It is recommended that the user titrates the product for use in their own system using appropriate negative/positive controls.
Due to the presence of bovine serum albumin (BSA), this antibody is unsuitable for use as a capture reagent in sandwich ELISA applications. This product is also available without BSA,please enquire.
