Anti-Ovalbumin (chicken)
Mouse monoclonal antibody
Cat.No. HYB 099-09
Preparation: Protein-A purified
Content: Available in 200 µL and 1 mL volumes, 1 mg/mL

Storage: In the dark at 4-8ºC
Ovalbumin is the main protein found in egg white, making up 60-65% of the total protein. Native chicken ovalbuminis is a globular monomer with a molecular mass of 45 kDa (1). It is structurally related to both serpins and lipocalins.
Purified chicken ovalbumin adsorbed onto aluminum hydroxide gel
HYB 099-09 reacts with native chicken ovalbumin. Cross-reactivity with ovalbumins from other avian species has not been tested.
Epitope specificity differs from that of HYB 099-01 and HYB 099-02, as indicated by lack of mutual inhibition of antigen binding.
HYB 099-09 reacts with ovalbumin in its native form, but does not recognize denatured ovalbumin.
