General description

Albumin, the major protein produced by liver cells, represents more than half of the total protein content of human serum. Many other body fluids also contain albumin. Three major functions for serum albumin have been proposed: maintenance of osmotic pressure, transportation of a variety of substances and an endogenous source of amino acids. The primary sites of albumin degradation are not known, but the protein can be metabolized by almost every organ in the body. Determination of serum albumin levels is a widely used screening test in clinical medicine. A decrease in serum albumin levels may indicate disease states such as malnutrition, cirrhosis, nephrotic syndrome, diabetes, gastrointestinal and hepatic diseases, thermal burns and pulmonary disease.
Rabbit polyclonal anti-Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA)–Agarose reacts with bovine albumin.
Serum albumins are soluble constituents of circulatory system. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) is homologous to human serum albumin (HSA). BSA consists of three homologous domains (I, II, III), that are separated into nine loops by disulfide bonds.

Immunogen

purified BSA from Cohn Fraction V

Application

Heparin-binding Merozoite antigens were detected by heparin-BSA binding assays using rabbit anti-BSAas the primary after plates were incubated with heparin-BSA on merozoite coated plates.
May be used for immunoprecipitation and immunoaffinity purification of Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) from solutions.
Rabbit Anti-Bovine Albumin (BSA)-Agarose antibody has been used as a negative control in several immunoassays.
Used for immunoprecipitation and immunoaffinity purification of BSA from solutions.
Anti-Bovine Albumin (BSA)-Agarose antibody produced in rabbit has been used in mass spectrometry.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Serum albumin acts as a depot protein.

Physical form

Suspension in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide

Preparation Note

Prepared by conjugating the IgG fraction of anti-bovine serum albumin (BSA) to cyanogen bromide-activated agarose.

  1. Which document(s) contains shelf-life or expiration date information for a given product?

    If available for a given product, the recommended re-test date or the expiration date can be found on the Certificate of Analysis.

  2. How do I get lot-specific information or a Certificate of Analysis?

    The lot specific COA document can be found by entering the lot number above under the "Documents" section.

  3. Does the antibody-agarose conjugate Anti-Bovine Albumin (BSA)-Agarose antibody, Product A4338, come with a column?

    No, but we do sell disposable mini-columns separately that might be of interest to you. See Product Nos. C2603 and C2728.

  4. What is the epitope for Anti-Bovine Albumin (BSA)-Agarose antibody, Product A4338?

    Product No. A4338 is prepared using a rabbit polyclonal antibody, so there is no single epitope. That is, this product can probably bind to several different parts of the bovine serum albumin (BSA).

  5. Do you have an immunoprecipitation procedure for this antibody-agarose conjugate Anti-Bovine Albumin (BSA)-Agarose antibody, Product A4338?

    We do not have an IP procedure specific to Product No. A4338. We would recommend that you use a general IP procedure.

  6. How do I find price and availability?

    There are several ways to find pricing and availability for our products. Once you log onto our website, you will find the price and availability displayed on the product detail page.
