Question:
Are all Polyclonal Antibodies Affinity Purified?

Answer:
Polyclonal Antibodies listed, with the exception of products #48-xxxx series, are not affinity purified and are excellent for procedures and techniques that do not require high specificity. They are prepared by immunizing host animals with purified IgG antigen preparations and represent a low cost alternative to affinity purified antibodies. These products can be used for applications such as: capture procedures for RIA and EIA; preparation of immunoabsorbents; immunoprecipitation; bridging antibodies for peroxidase-anti-proxidase (PAP) procedures; immunoelectrophoresis; and agglutination assays.
