Monoclonal Anti-Albumin antibody produced in mouse has been used in:immunofluorescence staining double staining enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)immunoblot immunohistochemistry

Biochem/physiol Actions

Albumin is a transport protein that binds a broad range of ligands such as fatty acids, bilirubin, hemin, drugs, amino acids and ions . Albumin may also function as a zinc carrier protein and consequently regulate physiological processes .

High levels of albumin are associated with dehydration. Albumin turnover is seen in infants with iron deficiency anemia. Oxidative damage of albumin is associated with advanced liver disease.

General description

Serum albumin is the major protein component of blood and is produced in the liver. It regulates colloid osmotic blood pressure, transportation of a variety of substances, blood pH and provides an endogenous source of amino acids. Monoclonal anti-albumin antibody (diluted 1:100) can be used in double staining to localize hepatocytes differentiated from human umbilical mesenchymal stem cells (HUMSCs) . Offering specificity for human serum albumin, this product is ideal for identification of human blood stains or other body fluids (e.g., seminal fluid, milk, urine, saliva, vaginal secretions). Mouse monoclonal anti-albumin antibody reacts specifically with denatured and reduced human serum albumin and cross reacts with rhesus, gibbon and baboon serum albumins. The product has shown no cross reactivity with bovine, cat, chicken, dog, donkey, goat, guinea pig, hamster, marmoset, pig, pigeon, rabbit, rat, sheep, or turkey serum albumin or with chicken and turkey egg albumin.

Monoclonal Anti-Albumin (mouse IgG2a isotype) is derived from the HSA-11 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from immunized BALB/c mice. Albumin, the major protein produced by the liver, represents more than half the total protein in human serum. Many other body fluids also contain albumin.

Immunogen

Human serum albumin

Specificity

The antibody is specific for human albumin in serum and plasma and recognizes an epitope resistant to reduction or denaturation.
