Application

A phosphorylated glycoprotein which is useful as a marker (~45 kDa) for protein electrophoresis. Has been used to produce an animal model of asthma.
Ovalbumin is useful as a marker (∼45 kDa) for protein electrophoresis. Ovalbumin has been used to produce an animal model of asthma. Ovalbumin was used as a medium for cell incubation in EliCell assay for the detection of released cytokines from eosinophils.
Studies to test the effects of localization on DNA immunizations use ovalbumin in antibody assays.
Ovalbumin has been used as an induction agent in model studies of atopic dermatitis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Differential scanning calorimetry indicates that chicken egg albumin denatures at 84 °C. Ovalbumin can be used as a carrier protein to conjugate to synthetic peptides for use as an immunogen.

General description

Chicken egg albumin, or ovalbumin, is the major protein constituent of egg whites. Chicken egg albumin is a phosphorylated glycoprotein. From the amino acid sequence, the peptide portion of ovalbumin consists of 385 residues and has a molecular weight of 42.7 kDa.

  1. Is Product No. A5503, Albumin from chicken egg white, endotoxin-tested?

    A5503 is not endotoxin-tested. None of the ovalbumins are endotoxin-tested.

  2. What is the solubility of Product No. A5503, Albumin from chicken egg white, in aqueous buffers (e.g. Tris, PBS)?

    We have only tested solubility in water. Salts in buffers may make solubility more difficult.

  3. How is Product No. A5503, Albumin from chicken egg white, analyzed for purity?  

    A5503 is analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis. We have not done SDS-PAGE.

  4. Product No. A5503, Albumin from chicken egg white, is to be stored at 2 - 8°C. Does it ship on ice?

    A5503 does not require shipping on ice.

  5. Is Product No. A5503, Albumin from chicken egg white, suitable for cell culture or injection?

    We do not test any of the ovalbumins in cell culture or in vivo applications. Customers would need to perform suitability testing in their own experiments.
