Rabbit polyclonal antibody against chicken immunoglobulin IgY, affinity-purified, 1 mg. Recognises chicken IgY, the avian functional equivalent of mammalian IgG. A secondary detection reagent for chicken IgY primary antibodies and for measuring avian antibody responses — one of a panel of species-specific anti-immunoglobulin polyclonals alongside cat. 596 (sheep anti-rabbit), cat. 531 (rabbit anti-bovine) and cat. 172 (rabbit anti-human).
