Anti-Borreilia burgdorferi Antibody

Raised in rabbits against the spirochete that causes Lyme disease, this polyclonal IgG fraction from Antibodies.com targets Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterial agent transmitted by Ixodes ticks. Researchers apply the purified antibody in immunoblotting, immunohistochemistry, and ELISA workflows, where it recognizes structural antigens of the organism in tick vectors, mammalian host tissues, and infected clinical samples. Supplied as a 500 µl liquid in a single vial, the reagent supports flexible dilution across multiple assay plates and reduces the need to aliquot small working stocks. Because the antibody is unconjugated, it pairs readily with horseradish peroxidase, alkaline phosphatase, or fluorophore-labeled secondary reagents chosen for the downstream detection chemistry. Recognition of several B. burgdorferi epitopes by the polyclonal response makes the reagent useful for confirming bacterial presence in experimental infection models, characterizing vector competence, and screening field-collected tick populations.
