Normal Chicken IgY-PE (CAT#: BRD-1193MZ)

1. Q 1: What is the primary application of Normal Chicken IgY-PE?

   A: This product is mainly used in immunofluorescence assays due to its phycoerythrin (PE) conjugation. It is ideal for labeling and detecting specific antigens in complex sample matrices where chicken IgY's unique properties can help minimize cross-reactivity.

2. Q 2: Which diseases relate to research using this antibody?

   A: While IgY itself is not disease-specific, it is often utilized in exploratory research for various diseases where fluorescence-based detection can elucidate antigen presence and distribution.

3. Q 3: How does Chicken IgY differ from mammalian antibodies?

   A: Chicken IgY does not bind to rheumatoid factors or the human Fc receptors that mammalian IgGs do. This reduces background in assays, allowing more precise results in fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry.

4. Q 4: What makes PE conjugate suitable for research?

   A: PE is a bright fluorophore offering high sensitivity without the need for enzymatic substrates, making it an excellent choice for real-time live-cell imaging and flow cytometry.

5. Q 5: What is the benefit of using chicken antibodies for detection?

   A: Due to evolutionary divergence, chicken antibodies recognize epitopes that may not be as immunogenic in mammals, offering unique binding profiles and reduced cross-reactivity in assays.
