Product Overview
Polyclonal
Lysozyme, also known as muramidase, is an antimicrobial enzyme that plays a critical role in the innate immune system by breaking down the peptidoglycan layer of bacterial cell walls, particularly in Gram-positive bacteria. A polyclonal antibody against lysozyme is generated by immunizing an animal—typically a rabbit or goat—with the lysozyme antigen, resulting in the production of a heterogeneous mixture of antibodies that recognize multiple epitopes on the lysozyme molecule. This polyclonal nature provides high sensitivity and strong signal detection due to the ability to bind to various regions of the target protein. Lysozyme polyclonal antibodies are widely used in immunohistochemistry, immunoassays, and research applications to detect lysozyme expression in tissues, especially in myeloid cells, macrophages, and sites of inflammation or infection. Their broad epitope recognition makes them valuable for detecting the native or denatured forms of lysozyme in diverse experimental conditions.
