Description

Chicken Polyclonal Antibody

Store vial at -20°C prior to opening. Aliquot contents and freeze at -20°C or below for extended storage. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature. This product is stable for several weeks at 4°C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use. This Anti-Beta Galactosidase Antibody is an IgY fraction antibody purified from monospecific chicken egg yolks by a multi-step process which includes selective precipitation and salt fractionation followed by extensive dialysis against the buffer stated above. Assay by immunoelectrophoresis resulted in a single precipitin arc against purified and partially purified Beta Galactosidase [E.coli] and anti-Chicken Serum. Cross reactivity against Beta Galactosidase from other tissues and species may occur but have not been specifically determined. Very low background staining has been reported in various assays.

Beta Galactosidase is an exoglycosidase which hydrolyzes the beta-glycosidic bond formed between a galactose and its organic moiety. Deficiencies in the protein in humans can result in galactosialidosis or Morquio B syndrome. In E. coli, the gene of beta-galactosidase, the lacZ gene, is present as part of the inducible system lac operon which is activated in the presence of lactose when glucose level is low. E. coli beta Galactosidase is commonly used in molecular biology as a reporter marker to monitor gene expression. Another popular use for beta Galactosidase is in blue/white screening to identify recombinant clones. Beta Galactosidase can be split in two peptides, lacZalpha and LacZOmega, neither of which is active by itself but when both are present together, spontaneously reassemble into a functional enzyme. This property is exploited in many cloning vectors. The presence or absence of an active beta Galactosidase may be detected through addition of artificial chromogenic substrates such as X-gal, fluorescent substrates such as Fluorescein di-beta-D-galactopyranoside (FDG), luminescent substrates and others. Beta Galactosidase activity at pH 6 is an indicator of senescent cells not found in presenescent, quiescent or dividing cells.
