EspañolSECONDARY ANTIBODY
(Redirected from Secondary antibodies)
A 'secondary antibody' is an antibody that binds to primary antibodies or antibody fragments. They are typically labeled with probes that make them useful for detection, purification or cell sorting applications.
Secondary antibodies may be polyclonal or monoclonal, and are available with specificity for whole Ig molecules or antibody fragments such as the Fc or Fab regions.
Secondary antibodies are used in many biochemical assays including:
★ ELISA
★ Western blot
★ Immunostaining
★ Immunohistochemistry
★ Immunocytochemistry
★ and in an HIV test
The primary antibody (in purple) binds to an antigen (in red). A labeled secondary antibody (in green), then binds to the primary antibody. The label is then used to indirectly detect the antigen.
