Anti-Candida albicans Antibody

Raised in rabbit and purified as an IgG fraction, this polyclonal antibody from Antibodies.com targets Candida albicans and is supplied as a 500 µL liquid at 5 mg/mL in Phosphate Buffered Saline with 0.1% Sodium Azide. The unconjugated reagent was generated against Candida albicans type A and recognises numerous proteins in a soluble C. albicans extract by immunoelectrophoresis; because the antiserum has not been adsorbed it also cross-reacts with other yeasts, while it is reported as non-reactive with human samples. Validations listed on the Antibodies.com product page cover ELISA, IHC-Fr (frozen-section immunohistochemistry) and IF (immunofluorescence), and the reagent is intended for research use only. C. albicans is the most frequently isolated fungal pathogen of humans and primarily infects the skin and mucosal surfaces, where it causes candidiasis (thrush); the antibody is therefore useful for localising fungal elements in tissue sections and culture-derived preparations. As a polyclonal reagent it provides a broad recognition profile against multiple C. albicans antigens rather than a single epitope, and the rabbit host/IgG isotype combination makes it suitable for standard anti-rabbit secondary detection systems across the listed immunoassays.
