See more signal with less noiseIn nature many animals use camouflage to escape detection. An animal’s survival oftendepends upon its ability to blend in with its environment, making it difficult to see. Justas in nature, your target protein can also be camouflaged in a complex “environment”,making it difficult to see too. To create a successful immunoassay, you must be able toclearly distinguish your target from background. <strong>KPL</strong> products from SeraCare Life Sciencesimprove immunoassays by increasing the level of specific signal while reducing unwantedbackground.

SERACARE <strong>KPL</strong> ANTIBODIES AND CONJUGATESThe Antibody Molecule<strong>Antibodies</strong>, which are also referred to as immunoglobulins,are glycoproteins that are produced <strong>and</strong> secretedby B lymphocytes <strong>and</strong> plasma cells. They are producedin animals in response to a foreign substance (antigen).Their ability to bind specifically <strong>and</strong> with great avidityplays a critical role in allowing the immune system todevelop long-term memory <strong>and</strong> protection against aforeign antigen. The high specificity <strong>and</strong> extreme avidityfor a particular antigen are the characteristics thatmake antibodies useful to researchers.The non-antigen binding portion of the antibody,including the hinge region, contains a large part of theheavy chain <strong>and</strong> is called the Fc region (Fragment Crystallizable).While this portion of the antibody cannotbind to antigens, the Fc region plays a significant roll ina number of important immunological reactions in vivo.Due to the similarities of the Fc regions between animalspecies the Fc region can be a source of nonspecificreactions.In order to be able to bind to diverse antigens, antibodiesthemselves need to be diverse, <strong>and</strong> the basic structurereflects this. The antibody is a Y-shaped protein <strong>and</strong> iscomprised of four protein subunits bound together bydisulfide bonds. The subunits are homodimers <strong>and</strong> distinguishedby size. The two smaller subunits are calledlight chains, <strong>and</strong> two larger subunits are called heavychains. One light chain is always associated with oneheavy chain so that the total number of light chains isalways equal to the number of heavy chains for a givenmolecule. The light chain consists of approximately110 amino acids <strong>and</strong> contains a variable region at theC-terminus. The heavy chain has a similar structure of110-amino acid variable region, but is followed by anapproximately 330-amino acid constant region at theN-terminus. The various chains are covalently linked byseveral disulfide bonds in the area of the protein calledthe hinge region.The combined variable regions of the heavy <strong>and</strong> lightchains in the two arms of the Y shape give rise to thebinding site, which is also known as the idiotype. Theportion of the molecule that retains the antigen bindingcharacteristics, the Y part of the antibody, is referred toas the Fab (Fragment Antigen Binding).An antibody can be enzymatically digested into theaforementioned components including one additionalone, F(ab') 2. When an immunoglobulin is digested withpepsin, enzymatic cleavage occurs on the C-terminalside of the disulfide bonds that hold the two heavychains together. This results in two Fab regions that areheld together by sulfide bonds. This is called F(ab') 2.6 To order, call +1.301.948.7755 or toll free 1.800.638.3167 or visit www.kpl.com


SERACARE <strong>KPL</strong> ANTIBODIES AND CONJUGATESAntibody ClassesThere are several classes of antibodies that are calledisotypes. Each isotype is defined functionally by theantigen it specifically recognizes. Mammalian speciesproduce five classes of immunoglobulins, which aredistinguished by physical characteristics, such as structure,size, <strong>and</strong> valency <strong>and</strong> are referred to as IgG, IgM,IgA, IgE, <strong>and</strong> IgD. The composition of the heavy chaindetermines the class of the immunoglobulin. That is,IgG has gamma chains (γ), IgM has mu chains (μ), IgAhas alpha chains (α), IgE has epsilon chains (ε), <strong>and</strong>IgD has delta chains (δ). The specific anti-heavy chainantibodies react with sites on the heavy chain epitopes;for example, the symbol (γ) indicates that antigen willonly react with the gamma heavy chain of the IgG antibody.The light chains also have two different classes.One is known as kappa (κ) <strong>and</strong> the other lambda (λ).IgG can be further subdivided into subclasses basedon slight variation in the amino acid sequence of thegamma heavy chain. For example, human IgG can bedivided into IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, <strong>and</strong> IgG4. Mouse IgGcan be divided into IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b, <strong>and</strong> IgG3.Other species have similar subdivisions.Antibody Class FunctionIgG <strong>Antibodies</strong>: IgG is the dominant antibody foundin blood serum. IgG promotes the recognition of microorganismsby immune cells <strong>and</strong> is responsible for longtermprotection from disease. This antibody is the mainimmunoglobulin used in various immunoassays.IgM <strong>Antibodies</strong>: IgM is the first antibody produced inresponse to infection. It is very effective in activatingcomplement <strong>and</strong> destroying bacteria. IgM has a pentamericstructure <strong>and</strong> is held together by extra disulfidebonds formed near the C-terminal end of the heavychains plus a short polypeptide referred to as the Jchain. Serum IgM is often analyzed in assays for earlydetection of infection.IgA <strong>Antibodies</strong>: IgA is known as the secretory antibody<strong>and</strong> is found in mucous membrane secretions, like saliva.It protects the respiratory <strong>and</strong> gastrointestinal tracts frominfection <strong>and</strong>, in some mammals, IgA is a major factorin milk that passively protects newborns. IgA is a dimer<strong>and</strong> is held together by a secretory chain.IgE <strong>Antibodies</strong>: IgE binds to the Fc receptors on mastcells <strong>and</strong> basophils <strong>and</strong> triggers the allergic response.The IgE antibody is also associated with defense againstparasites. IgE is present in blood in extremely low concentrations.Typically, anti-IgE is used in allergy testing.IgD <strong>Antibodies</strong>: IgD is a minor blood component <strong>and</strong>is typically bound to the surface of B lymphocytes.Antibody NomenclatureSecondary antibodies are usually identified with thefollowing:• the species from which they originate (e.g., goat,mouse, rat, hamster, etc.),• the species whose antibodies they are designed tobind to or react with (e.g., human, mouse, etc.),• the class (e.g., IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, IgM) or subclass(IgG1, IgG2a, etc.) of antibodies of thespecies to which they are designed to bind,• whether they are monoclonal or polyclonal,• whether they are enzymatically processed intofragments, <strong>and</strong>• whether they are conjugated.Additionally, some names will indicate:• specific antibody chains that are recognized[e.g., heavy (H), light (L), kappa (κ), lambda (λ)],• they have been affinity purified out of serum,• they have been adsorbed to other antibodies toreduce cross-reactivity, or• they are cross-reactive to antibodies of otherspecies or other antibody classes <strong>and</strong> subclasses.For example, “Goat Anti-Human IgG (H+L) HRP-labeledAntibody” would be used to identify an antibody thatwas produced in goats, that has epitopes on both theheavy <strong>and</strong> light chains of human IgG that will be recognized,<strong>and</strong> that the antibody is conjugated to horseradishperoxidase (HRP). The majority of <strong>KPL</strong> antibodiesare produced in goats. Therefore, only when they arenot produced in goats is the host animal included in theantibody names.To order, call +1.301.948.7755 or toll free 1.800.638.3167 or visit www.kpl.com7


YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYSERACARE <strong>KPL</strong> ANTIBODIES AND CONJUGATESAntibody PurificationWhen choosing a polyclonal antibody, either as aprimary or secondary antibody in an immunoassay,researchers are often inundated with an array of antibodypurification terms that they may not know muchabout. Underst<strong>and</strong>ing polyclonal antibody purificationsteps gives researchers the opportunity to pick the mostappropriate antibody purification technique for theirparticular immuno-application.Today, most polyclonal antibodies are referred to asbeing affinity purified. There are three major types ofaffinity purification: immunoglobulin-specific purification,antigen-specific purification, <strong>and</strong> serum adsorption.It should be noted that the different types ofpurification schemes are often used in combination toproduce a better antibody. But first, it is important tounderst<strong>and</strong> the early steps, serum purification <strong>and</strong> saltprecipitation.Serum PurificationPolyclonal secondary antibodies may be provided as aserum fraction. Serum is the amber colored supernatantobtained after blood is allowed to clot <strong>and</strong> is the simplestpurification technique. Serum contains different types ofantibodies as well as antibodies with a variety of affinities,some of which will bind to the antigen of interest <strong>and</strong>some of which will bind to non-specific antigens. Serumis inexpensive <strong>and</strong> provides sensitivity, but not reliablespecificity. In fact, serum will likely contain less than10% specific antibody. The lack of specificity is due to amultitude of antibody clones <strong>and</strong> other proteins, includingalbumin, which may bind non-specifically in an immunoassay.Serum will often be found in individual labsprovided by researchers developing their own antibodies.Salt PrecipitationOne common technique for purifying proteins is saltprecipitation. The solubility of proteins is related to thesalt concentration of the solution. Increasing the amountof salt in a solution essentially removes water moleculesfrom the protein, causing the protein to precipitate. Thisis commonly called “salting out.” The differences in composition<strong>and</strong> shape of proteins mean that proteins precipitateat varying concentrations of salt. Often proteinsare precipitated in a two-step or fractionated process. Inthe first step, salt is added so that the antibody of interestremains soluble, <strong>and</strong> unwanted proteins are removed.In the second step, more salt is added so that the antibodyof interest precipitates, <strong>and</strong> the unwanted solubleproteins can be removed. The precipitate is then dialyzedto remove the salt, <strong>and</strong> the antibody dissolved backinto solution. Serum can be precipitated this way usingammonium sulfate or caprylic acid. Salt precipitationis an inexpensive way to purify antibody from serum;however, the process does not remove proteins with aprecipitation pattern similar to antibodies.Step 1Serum with antibodies (Y)Extra proteins ( )Step 2Serum with antibodies (Y)Extra proteins ( )Low Salt PrecipitationYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYLow [salt]High [salt]CentrifugationSalt is added, forcing unwanted proteins to precipitate.Y YY YYHigh Salt PrecipitationYYYYYYYYYYYYYCentrifugationY YY YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYIncreasing the salt concentration eventually leads to antibody precipitation.BloodYYYYYYCentrifugationYYYYYYYYSerum with antibodiesYYYYBlood cellsAfter clotting, whole blood is centrifuged to separate serum fromother components.8 To order, call +1.301.948.7755 or toll free 1.800.638.3167 or visit www.kpl.com


SERACARE <strong>KPL</strong> ANTIBODIES AND CONJUGATESAffinity PurificationThere are three types of affinity purification. Many times,the three are used in combination when the purest antibodyis needed.Immunoglobulin-Specific Affinity PurificationIn certain bacteria, immunoglobulin-binding proteins areused to evade the host immune response. These proteinsbind immunoglobulins in an orientation that preventsnormal antibody function. Repurposed for purification,immunoglobulin-binding proteins are used to increasethe purity or to concentrate an antibody solution.There are three common immunoglobulin-bindingproteins used to purify antibodies, Protein A, Protein G,<strong>and</strong> Protein L. Protein A (from Staphylococcus aureus) <strong>and</strong>Protein G (from Streptococcus spp.) bind to the Fc regionof antibodies while Protein L (from Peptostreptococcusmagnus) binds to the antibodies through the light chain.Often these proteins are immobilized to a solid support(e.g., agarose beads) to form affinity matrices. Protein A,Protein G, <strong>and</strong> Protein L all have unique immunoglobulin-bindingcharacteristics according to species, antibodytype, <strong>and</strong> antibody isotype. Care must be taken when selectingan immunoglobulin-specific purification to makesure the antibody of interest will actually bind to theimmunoglobulin-binding protein. Because the techniquedoes not isolate antigen-specific antibodies, immunoassaysusing immunoglobulin-purified antibodies may stillhave background or specificity issues.Antigen Affinity Purification (Positive)Antigen affinity purification is another specific type ofaffinity purification <strong>and</strong> results in the purest antibodieswith the least amount of cross-reactivity. Affinity purifiedantibodies exhibit the highest specificity <strong>and</strong> sensitivitythat can be obtained from serum. Because these antigenspecificantibodies are polyclonal, they can be usedas both the capture <strong>and</strong> detection antibody in capture(s<strong>and</strong>wich) immunoassays.Despite all the care used to purify antibodies against aspecific antigen there are some epitopes that are sharedbetween proteins. These shared epitopes can causecross-reactivity. In order to remove the cross-reactivity,negative affinity selection is utilized. Negative affinitypurification selection is similar to antigen affinity purificationexcept that unwanted proteins are used to removecross-reacting antibodies. Often the unwanted proteinsare attached to a solid support, <strong>and</strong> an affinity column isconstructed using the cross-reacting antigen. During thepurification process a negative affinity column is utilizedto remove the unwanted antibody. Negative selection canbe performed one or more times depending on the levelof purity needed. The caveat to negative affinity columnsis that the total number of epitopes being recognizedby the polyclonal antibody is being reduced, <strong>and</strong> thus,the sensitivity will begin to decrease. A tradeoff must bemade between sensitivity <strong>and</strong> specificity.It should be noted that immunoglobulin-specific purificationis a specific type of affinity purification; however,manufacturers often do not distinguish between ProteinA, Protein G, or Protein L purification versus antigen affinitypurification.YAnti-Mouse IgGNonspecific Proteins<strong>and</strong> ImmunoglobulinsColumn BoundMouse IgG EpitopesYYYY YYYYYYYAntibodyAgaroseBeadProtein A or GAntigen-specific antibodies bind to column matrix.To order, call +1.301.948.7755 or toll free 1.800.638.3167 or visit www.kpl.com9


SERACARE <strong>KPL</strong> ANTIBODIES AND CONJUGATESSerum Adsorption (Negative Affinity Purification)Polyclonal antibodies are most commonly used asanti-immunoglobulin secondary antibodies in variousimmunoassays. Even though polyclonal antibodies oftendisplay higher sensitivity than monoclonal antibodies,they can suffer from a lack of specificity. In certainapplications even antigen affinity purified antibodiesmay suffer from a lack of specificity. Despite beingaffinity purified as species-specific, anti-immunoglobulinscan bind other species to varying degrees due toshared epitopes across species. Depending on the immunoassays,researchers may need this cross-reactivityremoved. Traditionally, the cross-reactivity was removedby adding serum of the unwanted species. Thecross-reacting antibodies bound to the serum <strong>and</strong> wereremoved from the total antibody pool. Cross adsorptionis easy to perform but introduces a complex proteinmixture of serum from a different species back intoa relative pure antibody solution. The antibody mustthen be repurified.YYCross-ReactingAnti-Mouse IgGAnti-Mouse IgGColumn BoundCross-Reacting AntigenYYYYYYYYY YYCross-reacting antibodies bind to column matrix.YYYYYYY YYY YY YYYWhile the above technique is historically valid, thesedays most manufactures of secondary antibodies attachserum to a solid support <strong>and</strong> make negative affinitycolumns from serum. Thus serum adsorption is bettercategorized as a specific type of negative affinity, ratherthan a purification technique. Despite the wide use ofnegative affinity for purification purposes, manufacturershave traditionally only listed which antibodies havebeen serum adsorbed because knowledge of serumadsorption is critical for researchers performing multiplexassays.10 To order, call +1.301.948.7755 or toll free 1.800.638.3167 or visit www.kpl.com


SERACARE <strong>KPL</strong> ANTIBODIES AND CONJUGATESHow <strong>KPL</strong> <strong>Antibodies</strong> Are PurifiedThe proprietary purification technology used results inhigher affinity antibodies, which increase sensitivity <strong>and</strong>reduce background. Selected antibodies may be purifiedusing negative affinity columns to minimize cross-reactivitybetween animal species or to reduce shared reactivity withother immunoglobulin classes. These processes yieldpure antibodies with defined specificities <strong>and</strong> result inconsistent lot-to-lot performance.Considerable effort is spent developing <strong>and</strong> purifyingan antigen formulation to generate high titer, specificantiserum, since pure antigen results in a more potent<strong>and</strong> specific antibody.ImmunizationPrior to immunization, animals are carefully screenedfor reactivity toward the antigen. This allows thescreening out of animals that will not produce aneffective antibody. Next, multiple animals are involvedin the production of one antibody, thus allowing forthe collection the most potent antibodies possible. Inaddition, pooling antiserum from multiple animalsminimizes natural serum variability, resulting in uniformlarge-scale antibody lots.Production bleeds are obtained from the animals <strong>and</strong>are screened for potency. Production bleeds that do notmeet quality requirements are rejected. The immunoglobulinfraction of antisera is then isolated <strong>and</strong> testedfor purity as well as potency against the antigen.PurificationEven with the purity testing, the antiserum will containmany lipids <strong>and</strong> serum proteins. The most prevalentamong them is albumin, which accounts for 50% of theprotein in serum. The first step in the affinity purificationprocess is accomplished by a series of salt precipitationsteps in which 99% of these substances are removed.The resultant immunoglobulin fraction is likelyto contain only 5-10% specific antibody. At this point,affinity purification using both positive <strong>and</strong> negativeselection is utilized to purify the specific antibody fromthe nonspecific antibody. Then, the antibody is testedagain for potency <strong>and</strong> cross-reactivity.Species Cross-ReactivityImmunoglobulins of related animal species often sharesimilar epitopes derived from homologous proteinstructure <strong>and</strong> sequence. For example, affinity purifiedantibodies against mouse IgG may recognize epitopeson human IgG. To minimize cross-reactivity betweenmouse <strong>and</strong> human species, antibodies to mouse immunoglobulinare adsorbed against immobilized humanserum on a negative affinity column. The resultingantibody, anti-mouse IgG, human serum adsorbed(HSA), is highly specific to mouse IgG with minimalreactivity to human IgG or to any other human serumcomponents. Select antibody preparations are furtheradsorbed against multiple animal species to reducereactivity to shared regions among these species.Heavy <strong>and</strong> Light Chain Cross-ReactivityPolyclonal antibodies recognize different regions on IgGheavy <strong>and</strong> light chains. Some of these regions are similarto IgA <strong>and</strong> IgM heavy <strong>and</strong> light chains. Therefore,these antibodies consist of subpopulations that also recognizeIgM <strong>and</strong> IgA. To make an antibody specific forthe IgG heavy chain, these subpopulations need to beremoved or reduced. To do this, the purified antibodiesare passed over a negative affinity column with immobilizedwhole IgM <strong>and</strong> IgA antibodies containing bothheavy <strong>and</strong> light chains. <strong>Antibodies</strong> that recognized IgM<strong>and</strong> IgA bind to the column while antibodies specificfor the IgG heavy chain pass through <strong>and</strong> are collected.The Finished ProductThe final purified antibody is characterized for potency<strong>and</strong> specificity by two distinct ELISA formats <strong>and</strong> forpurity by SDS-PAGE. After the testing is complete, thepurified antibody is lyophilized <strong>and</strong> undergoes onemore round of testing for potency <strong>and</strong> solubility.To order, call +1.301.948.7755 or toll free 1.800.638.3167 or visit www.kpl.com11


SERACARE <strong>KPL</strong> ANTIBODIES AND CONJUGATESChoose the Right Antibodyfor your applicationIt is important to know how different antibodies will performin different immunoassays. Below are descriptions ofthe general antibody characteristics to help you determinewhich is the best antibody for your immunoassay.Anti-Heavy <strong>and</strong> Light Chain (H+L) <strong>Antibodies</strong><strong>Antibodies</strong> to IgG heavy <strong>and</strong> light chains (H+L) recognizeepitopes on both heavy <strong>and</strong> light chains of IgG<strong>and</strong> may react with other immunoglobulin classes thathave light chains in common with IgG. These antibodiesare versatile choices for many different assays. H+Lantibodies will recognize the most epitopes <strong>and</strong> thuswill give the maximum amount of signal.Anti-Heavy Chain-Specific <strong>Antibodies</strong>Anti-heavy chain-specific antibodies, IgG (γ), IgM (μ),IgA (α), <strong>and</strong> IgE (ε), react specifically with the heavychain indicated in the product name. Heavy chainspecificantibodies are absorbed against the wholeantibody molecule of other immunoglobulin classesto remove shared heavy <strong>and</strong> light chain reactivity. Forexample, gamma-specific products are cross-reacted onresins containing species-specific IgM <strong>and</strong> IgA antigens.These antibodies are useful in assays where “heavychain only” reactivity is desired.Anti-IgG+IgM (H+L) <strong>Antibodies</strong>Antibody products directed against IgG <strong>and</strong> IgM (H+L)contain an equal mixture of two antibodies that recognizereactive sites specific for IgG <strong>and</strong> IgM. Theseantibodies are recommended when monitoring bothIgG <strong>and</strong> IgM.Anti-IgA+IgG+IgM (H+L) <strong>Antibodies</strong><strong>Antibodies</strong> directed against IgA+IgG+IgM (H+L) containan equal mixture of three antibodies that recognizereactive sites specific to IgA, IgG, <strong>and</strong> IgM. Othershared sites through light chain cross-reactivity alsomay be present. Anti-IgA+IgG+IgM (H+L) antibodiesare best used when measurement of all three classes ofantibodies needs to be controlled in an immunoassay.F(ab') 2Fragment <strong>Antibodies</strong>F(ab') 2fragment antibodies are specifically developedto prevent the antibody binding non-specifically toFc receptors located on some types of cells. F(ab') 2antibodies can also be used to reduce background inassays that involve bacterial contamination or detectionof antigens in cell lysates. F(ab') 2antibodies also canbe used to increase sensitivity in immunohistochemicalapplications where smaller antibody molecules areneeded to diffuse through tissues.12 To order, call +1.301.948.7755 or toll free 1.800.638.3167 or visit www.kpl.com


SERACARE <strong>KPL</strong> ANTIBODIES AND CONJUGATESDefinitionsAntigen An antigen is a molecule that is capable ofprovoking the production of antibodies. The antigen<strong>and</strong> antibody bind much like a lock <strong>and</strong> key system.Antigens are usually large. In some cases, they are proteinsthat are larger than the antibody. They can also beorganisms such as bacteria or viruses.Antiserum A pool of blood serum that contains all ofthe antibody fraction plus other serum proteins.Epitopes The structural area on an antigen that bindswith an antibody.Fab Fab st<strong>and</strong>s for fragment antigen binding. It is theportion of the antibody that is comprised of the heavy<strong>and</strong> light chain of one arm of the Y shape. The Fab containsthe variable sections that define the specific targetto which the antibody can bind.Fc The fragment crystallizable is the tail region of anantibody that interacts with cell surface receptors calledFc receptors.F(ab') 2When IgG is digested with pepsin, enzymaticcleavage occurs on the C-terminal side of the disulfidebonds that hold the two heavy chains together. Thisresults in two Fab regions that are held together bydisulfide bonds <strong>and</strong> is referred to as F(ab') 2.Heavy chain The heavy chain has a structureof 110-amino acids followed by an approximately330-amino acid constant region. The heavy chain designatesthe isotope, IgM, IgG, IgD, IgE, <strong>and</strong> IgA. It alsodetermines the subclass.Immunogen An immunogen is a foreign substance(non-self)—such as a protein, lipid, or carbohydrate—introduced into a host animal that provokes an immuneresponse. An immunogen is also a specific typeof antigen. All immunogens are antigens but not allantigens are immunogens.Light chain The light chain consists of approximately110 amino acids at the C-terminal end <strong>and</strong> is referredto as the variable region. There are two types of lightchains, λ <strong>and</strong> κ.Monoclonal Monoclonal antibodies are producedfollowing the fusion of myeloma cells with B cells. Theresultant continuous cell line (hybridoma) produceslarge quantities of homogeneous, well-defined, singleepitope antibody. The availability of large quantities ofcontinuously produced antibody allow for greater st<strong>and</strong>ardization<strong>and</strong> quality control of the antibody reagent.Therefore, monoclonal antibodies are more preciselycharacterized <strong>and</strong> have greater acceptance by regulatoryagencies when used in diagnostic application.Primary Antibody A primary antibody is an antibodyused to detect another type of molecule. The antibodycan be monoclonal or polyclonal. What makes primaryantibodies extremely useful is their ability to bind withhigh affinity <strong>and</strong> specificity to unique epitopes acrossa broad spectrum of biomolecules. While primaryantibodies are sometimes labeled, researchers will oftenuse an unlabeled primary antibody in conjunction witha labeled secondary antibody to provide a signal enhancement.Historically, the term primary antibody wasthe first antibody applied to the substrate-bound targetmolecule in the assay detection process. With today’snewer array types of assays, this convention does notnecessarily hold true.Polyclonal Polyclonal antibodies are obtained fromthe serum of animals immunized with a particularantigen. The antibody pool obtained from serum is theresult of many B cell clones to one specific antibody.Therefore, polyclonal antibodies represent a mixture ofinnumerable distinct clones. The antibodies recognizemultiple epitopes or have multiple binding sites on aparticular antigen.Secondary Antibody A secondary antibody refersto an antibody that detects another antibody.

SERACARE <strong>KPL</strong> ANTIBODIES AND CONJUGATESBacTrace antibodies are prepared by a proprietary method that yields highly characterizedantibodies with excellent specificity <strong>and</strong> sensitivity. As such, the antibodies offer a rangeof benefits in the development of high-performance immunoassays. BacTrace affinity purifiedantibodies offer excellent specificity <strong>and</strong> sensitivity in immunoassays such as ELISA,Western blot, lateral flow, agglutination, flow cytometry, <strong>and</strong> immunofluorescence. Sincethey are more sensitive than many commercially available monoclonal antibodies, Bac-Trace antibodies are ideal for use in the research laboratory, for environmental monitoring,<strong>and</strong> for food <strong>and</strong> beverage analysis.With <strong>KPL</strong> BacTrace antibodies, researchers can count on:• Enhanced sensitivity - Affinity purified polyclonal antibodies provide maximaldetection of the antigen of interest. They recognize a variety of cell surface <strong>and</strong>intracellular antigens of bacterial cells, thereby greatly amplifying the signalcompared to monoclonal antibodies.• Excellent specificity - Affinity purification selects for the antibody of interest <strong>and</strong>enables production of antibodies with high specificity for the target antigen <strong>and</strong>minimal cross-reactivity.• Lot-to-lot reproducibility - High correlation between antibody lots is verified byextensive in-house testing.BacTrace antibodies are available unlabeled <strong>and</strong> labeled with enzymes, fluorophores,magnetic beads <strong>and</strong> other tags for use in ELISA, Western blot, immunohistochemistry orfluorescence microscopy. Positive control antigens are also available. <strong>KPL</strong>’s line of primarypolyclonal antibodies consists of 28 antibodies with 9 different tags.To order, call +1.301.948.7755 or toll free 1.800.638.3167 or visit www.kpl.com29
