Source
Chickens were immunized with highly purified Toxin A purified from Clostridium difficile. After multiple immunizations in Freund's adjuvant, eggs were collected and the IgY purified. Anti-Clostridium difficile Toxin A was immunoaffinity purified using the immunogen immobilized on a solid support.

Product

Product Form: Affinity purified

Formulation: Phosphate buffered saline‚ pH 7.2 with 0.075% sodium azide

Purification Method: Egg-yolk derived IgY, affinity purified.

Concentration: See vial for concentration.

Applications
This antibody is suitable for ELISA and Western Blotting procedures. By Western blot, a 1:4000 dilution of the IgY was an effective probe for 1 ug of Toxin A. By Direct ELISA, the half-point titre was 1:20,000 using a 2 ug/ml coating of Toxin A. Optimal working dilutions should be determined for your particular assay conditions.

Storage
Product should be stored at -20ºC. Aliquot to avoid freeze/thaw cycles.

Shipping Conditions: Ship at ambient temperature.
