Chicken Antichromatin Antibodies: Specificity to Different Chromatin Fractions

The Immunological Responses to Various Cell Wall Fractions of Pasteurella multocida in Chicken

Specificity of secretory antibodies to bacterial immunogens.

The present investigation examined the specificity of the salivary immune response of axenic and conventional mice to topically administered Salmonella typhi, S. gallinarum, and S. typhimurium. Specific antibacterial antibodies were determined by passive hemagglutination and bacterial agglutination. Reciprocal antibody titers up to 320 were detected in saliva from mice immunized and assayed wit...

Specificity of Chicken (IgY) versus Rabbit (IgG) Antibodies Raised against Cholecystokinin Octapeptide (CCK-8).

Antibodies produced in chickens (egg yolk Antibody-IgY) and rabbits against CCK-8 TyrSE (a C-terminal extended CCK-version) were compared with respect to their specificity against several modified CCK-sequences by means of radioimmunoassay and spot blot assay. The content of neuronal CCK was determined by using both an "avian" and a "mammalian" RIA. The IC50 values obtained indicate differences...

Specificity of antibodies

Whether polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies should be used in immunohistological staining is sometimes a matter of personal preference. Most often, however, the type of antigen and the tissue to be studied will influence this selection (Table 1). Because monoclonal antibodies are of uniform affinity, monoclonal antibodies with high affinity are preferred for immunohistology in oder to avoid los...
