Description:
Anti-Human IgA, AlpSdAbs® VHH is designed for detecting human IgA specifically. Anti-Human IgA, AlpSdAbs® VHH is monovalent, recombinant single domain antibody derived from the variable regions of heavy chain of Alpaca pacous. Based on immunoelectrophoresis and/or ELISA, Anti-Human IgA, AlpSdAbs® VHH reacts with human IgA selectively, no reactivity with human IgG, IgD, IgM, IgE.

Background:
In mammals, antibodies are classified into five main classes or isotypes – IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG and IgM. They are classed according to the heavy chain they contain – alpha, delta, epsilon, gamma or mu respectively. IgA is the major immunoglobulin class in body secretions. It may serve both to defend against local infection and to prevent access of foreign antigens to the general immunologic system.
VHH are single-domain antibodies derived from the variable regions of heavy chain of Camelidae immunoglobulin. The size of VHH is extremely small(<15KDa) compared to other forms of antibody fragment, which significantly increase the permeability of VHH. Thus VHH is considered of great value for research, diagnostics and therapeutics.
ELISA: 1:5000-1:20000
IP: 1-2ug/sample
Dilution factors are presented in the form of a range because the optimal dilution is a function of many factors, such as antigen density, permeability, etc. The actual dilution used must be determined empirically.
