Anti-Brucella refers to antibodies that target Brucella species, the bacteria responsible for causing Brucellosis. Tetracore's Goat Anti-Brucella IgG, for example, is a specific type of antibody used in laboratory tests.
Key Aspects of Anti-Brucella Antibodies:
- Definition: Anti-Brucella antibodies are immunoglobulins that specifically bind to Brucella bacteria.
- Origin: These antibodies can be produced by animals (e.g., goats) or generated in vitro.
- Purpose: They are used in various diagnostic assays to detect the presence of Brucella or Brucella-specific antigens.
Applications of Anti-Brucella Antibodies:
Anti-Brucella antibodies play a crucial role in detecting and studying Brucellosis. According to the reference, these antibodies can be used in the following ways:
- Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assays (ELISAs): To detect and quantify Brucella antigens or antibodies in a sample.
- Lateral Flow Assays (LFAs): For rapid, point-of-care detection of Brucella.
- Magnetic Bead-based Immunoassays: For high-throughput detection and quantification.
- Western Blot (WB): To identify specific Brucella proteins.
Tetracore's Goat Anti-Brucella IgG
Tetracore provides a specific Brucella antibody:
- It is a protein G affinity purified polyclonal antibody raised in goats. This means the antibody is highly purified and represents a collection of antibodies targeting different epitopes on Brucella bacteria.
- The antibody targets Brucella species, the causative agent of Brucellosis.
- As stated above, this antibody is used in various immunoassays like ELISAs, LFAs, Magnetic Bead-based Immunoassays, and Western Blot (WB).
