Background

Chicken ovalbumin (OVA) is a soluble 44.3 kDa protein derived from chicken eggs. OVA is often used as a conjugate for small molecules, such as peptides, to increase their size and confer properties more amenable for assays such as solid phase ELISAs. In experiments where OVA-conjugates are used, rigorous experiments should include negative controls that demonstrate that responses are to the peptide of interest, and not the OVA portion of the molecule. GMA-640 binds OVA and OVA-conjugated peptides in solid phase ELISA.
