Certificate of Analysis | ||||
Monoclonal Antibody: | 4A6 | |||
Vial: | Red Cap; 100µl | |||
Immunogen: | Asp f 1 | |||
Isotype: | Mouse IgG1 | |||
Specificity: | Binds to a common epitope on Aspergillus fumigatus allergen, Asp f 1. | |||
Purification: | Produced in tissue culture and purified by chromatography using Protein G. Single heavy and light chain bands on SDS-PAGE. | |||
Concentration: | 2mg/ml in phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4. Based on A280 for IgG (1.42=1mg/ml), 0.22μm filtered, preservative free. | |||
Certificate of Analysis | ||||
Antibody: | Polyclonal antibody raised against partially purified Asp f 1 (1,2). | |||
Vial: | Brown Cap; 100µl | |||
Specificity: | The pAb contains IgG antibodies to Asp f 1 as well as IgG antibodies to other Aspergillus allergens. | |||
Activity: | The pAb is in phosphate buffered saline containing 1%BSA 50%glycerol PBS, pH 7.4. The pAb has been 0.22µm filtered and should be diluted 1/1000 for use in Asp f 1 ELISA. | |||

Allergen Standard: | rAsp f 1 | |||
Vial: | White Cap; 400µl | |||
Composition: | Recombinant Asp f 1 prepared in 1% BSA/50% glycerol/PBS, 0.22μm filtered, preservative free, pH 7.4 | |||
Concentration: | 400ng/ml rAsp f 1 | |||
Concentration: | The Asp f 1 concentration was determined by amino acid analysis. Asp f 1 and Asp r 1 (mitogillin) are 95% homologous (differing by 4 amino acid residues) and are antigenically and functionally indistinguishable (1). | |||
