IgA antibody
Rabbit anti Sheep IgA antibody used as a capture reagent (AHP949) together with horseradish peroxidase conjugated Rabbit anti Sheep IgA antibody (AHP949P) as a detection reagent for the measurement of total IgA in sheep saliva using a sandwich ELISA.
Image caption:
Stability of total sheep IgA (A) and IgG (B) (n = 15), rGT2-specific IgA (C) and IgG (D) (n = 10) exposed to rumen contents from sheep. Saliva was added to rumen contents with or without addition of protease inhibitor or added to PBS. Ig concentrations were measured by ELISA. Data are presented as mean (± SE) proportion of antibody relative to levels at time 0. Significant differences to time 0 were shown as *P <0.05, **P <0.001.

Horseradish peroxidase conjugated Rabbit anti Ovine IgA antibody (AHP949P) used to assess IgA levels in Soay sheep by ELISA.
Image caption:
Schematic diagram summarizing the pairwise associations found between anti Teladorsagia circumcincta IgA, IgE, and IgG levels and August strongyle fecal egg count (FEC), August weight, overwinter survival, and breeding success for Soay sheep lambs (left) and adults (right) split by sex (gray = males; yellow = females). For clarity, quadratic associations and density × antibody interactions are removed. Line type indicates the significance of the relationship (see key), and labels indicate whether these associations were positive (+ve) or negative (−ve).
