General description

Chicken IgY is made of two heavy (H) and two light (L) chains. Its molecular weight is about ~180 kDa.

Specificity

Rabbit Anti-Chicken IgY (IgG) (whole molecule)-Peroxidase antibody binds to chicken IgY.

Immunogen

purified chicken IgY (IgG)

Application

Anti-Chicken IgY (IgG) (whole molecule) FITC antibody has been used in immunohistology.
Avian proteins over expressed and purified from E. coli were analyzed by western blot using HRP-conjugated rabbit anti-chicken IgY as the secondary at 1:2000 dilution.
Rabbit Anti-Chicken IgY (IgG) (whole molecule)-Peroxidase antibody has been used for ELISA. The antibody can also be used for dot blot (1:160,000) and IHC (1:500) assays.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Chicken IgY is the major antibody found in chicken serum. Chickens generate a comparatively enhanced antibody response to mammalian antigenic proteins. These immunoglobulins do not bind to Fc receptors present in mammals and bacteria, and also do not interact with rheumatoid factors. Thus anti-chicken antibodies are useful analytical tools for various research applications.
IgY plays a major role in defense mechanism against systemic infections. It also possesses the ability to initiate anaphylactic reactions.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 0.05% MIT.

Preparation Note

Prepared by the two-step glutaraldehyde method described by Avrameas, S., et al., Scand. J. Immunol., 8, Suppl. 7, 7 (1978).

The expansion of cysts in polycystic kidneys bears several similarities to the invasion of the extracellular matrix by benign tumors. We therefore hypothesized that cyst-lining epithelial cells produce extracellular matrix-degrading metalloproteinases and that the inhibition of these enzymes may represent
