Abstract:

In order to prepare highly specific rabbit anti-ovotransferrin polyclonal antibody, New Zealand rabbits were immunized with commercial ovotransferrin or laboratory-purified ovotransferrin. The titer and specificity of antisera prepared were analyzed by ELISA and Western blotting, respectively. Results showed that all the antisera reached a titer of 1:819200 and exhibited a high specificity. Therefore, target products have been successfully prepared, which might be useful for the further investigations of egg allergy.

Key words: ovotransferrin (OVT), polyclonal antibody, egg allergy
