Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C. Stable for 12 months at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile ddH2O. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Reconstituted product is stable for 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. FITC conjugates are sensitive to light.

Purified free monkey secretory component isolated from pooled milk.

Supplied as a lyophilized powder from PBS, pH 7.2. No preservatives added. Labled with Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC). Reconstitute in 1ml sterile ddH2O. Dilute further in PBS, pH 7.2.

Purified by DEAE chromatography.

Recognizes monkey secretory component. Reacts with both bound secretory component (secretory IgA) and with the free SC present in monkey secretions. In immunoelectrophoresis against monkey milk, using a high electroendosmosis agar plate, free SC is precipitated in the alph-2 region. Does not react with other molecular forms of IgA, or with any other secretory or plasma protein. Precipitation reactions have been observed with free and bound secretory component in serum of other old-world monkeys, including Cercopithecus, Cynomolgus and Baboon.
