ANTI-HUMAN ALBUMIN

Anti-Human Albumin antibody has been used in enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and in immobilization of antibodies for human serum albumin (HSA).

Serum albumin is the major protein component of blood and is produced in the liver. It regulates colloid osmotic blood pressure, transportation of a variety of substances, blood pH and provides an endogenous source of amino acids. Monoclonal anti-albumin antibody (diluted 1:100) can be used in double staining to localize hepatocytes differentiated from human umbilical mesenchymal stem cells (HUMSCs) . Offering specificity for human serum albumin, this product is ideal for identification of human blood stains or other body fluids (e.g., seminal fluid, milk, urine, saliva, vaginal secretions). Mouse monoclonal anti-albumin antibody reacts specifically with denatured and reduced human serum albumin and cross reacts with rhesus, gibbon and baboon serum albumins. The product has shown no cross reactivity with bovine, cat, chicken, dog, donkey, goat, guinea pig, hamster, marmoset, pig, pigeon, rabbit, rat, sheep, or turkey serum albumin or with chicken and turkey egg albumin.

Albumin is a transport protein that binds a broad range of ligands such as fatty acids, bilirubin, hemin, drugs, amino acids and ions among several others. Albumin may also function as a zinc carrier protein and consequently regulate physiological processes.
