Validation Performance Data

For research and commercial use in vitro: not for human in vivo or therapeutic use.

  Certificate of Analysis
Pre-coated Plate: 96-well polystyrene microtiter plate coated with
monoclonal antibody 4A6 and treated with stabilizing
agent. Sealed in foil pouch with desiccant.
Monoclonal Antibody: 4A6
Immunogen: Asp f 1
Isotype: Mouse IgG1
Specificity: Binds to a common epitope on Aspergillus fumigatus allergen, Asp f 1.
Purification: Produced in tissue culture and purified by chromatography using Protein G. Single heavy and light chain bands on SDS-PAGE.

Detection Antibody: Polyclonal antibody raised against partially purified Asp f 1 (1,2).
Vial: Brown Cap; 100µl
Specificity: The pAb contains IgG antibodies to Asp f 1 as well as IgG antibodies to other Aspergillus allergens.
Activity: The pAb is in phosphate buffered saline containing 1%BSA 50%glycerol PBS, pH 7.4. The pAb has been 0.22µm filtered and should be diluted 1/1000 for use in Asp f 1 ELISA.

Allergen Standard: Naturally purified Asp r 1 prepared in 1% BSA/50% glycerol/PBS, 0.22μm filtered, preservative free, pH 7.4
Concentration: 400ng/mL

The Asp f 1 concentration was determined by amino acid analysis.  Asp f 1 and Asp r 1 (mitogillin) are 95% homologous (differing by 4 amino acid residues) and are antigenically and functionally indistinguishable (1).
