Horse Serum is broadly used as a blocking agent in immunoassays. Horse Serum contains more immunoglobulins than fetal bovine serum (FBS), has an increased protein content, and is a cost-effective alternative to fetal bovine serum.
Horse Serum is used for diagnostic assays, supplementation during mycoplasma growth, or for cultivation of hematopoietic stem cells and neuronal cells.
