Goat Anti-Chicken Antibody

Affinity-purified in goat hosts against chicken immunoglobulin targets, this polyclonal secondary reagent from Antibodies.com is supplied as a 1 ml vial of unconjugated antibody intended for indirect detection of chicken primary antibodies.

Validated for ELISA, Western blot, and immunocytochemistry workflows, the reagent recognizes chicken IgY, the predominant immunoglobulin class in chickens. Because chickens are evolutionarily distant from mammals, chicken IgY primary antibodies generate low background when applied to mammalian samples, and a goat anti-chicken secondary provides species-specific detection in immunolabelling and immunoblotting setups.

Affinity purification removes non-specific immunoglobulin reactivity, reducing background in tissue sections and cell preparations. The polyclonal format targets multiple epitopes on chicken IgY, supporting robust signal generation in Western blot, immunocytochemistry, and plate-based ELISA detection of captured chicken antibodies. Researchers commonly pair this unconjugated reagent with anti-goat HRP conjugates or fluorophore-labelled detection antibodies to build indirect detection assays.

For liquid-format polyclonal reagents, store refrigerated between uses; aliquot to limit freeze-thaw cycles on the glycerol-containing buffer. This is a research-use-only reagent intended for laboratory immunoassay development and validation studies.
