Anti-ALPHA-1-ACID GLYCOPROTEIN (Human Plasma)

Alpha-1-Acid Glycoprotein Antibody is an IgG fraction antibody purified from monospecific antiserum by a multi-step process which includes delipidation, salt fractionation and ion exchange chromatography followed by extensive dialysis against the buffer stated above.  Assay by immunoelectrophoresis resulted in a single precipitin arc against anti-Rabbit Serum as well as purified and partially purified a-1-Acid Glycoprotein (Human Plasma).  Cross-reactivity against a-1-Acid Glycoprotein from other tissues and species may occur but has not been specifically determined. Protein function: Functions as transport protein in the blood stream. Binds various ligands in the interior of its beta-barrel domain. Also binds synthetic drugs and influences their distribution and availability in the body. Appears to function in modulating the activity of the immune system during the acute-phase reaction.
