Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) antibodies are immunoglobulins generated against BSA, a highly abundant protein in bovine blood plasma. BSA, a 66.5 kDa protein, is widely used in laboratory settings as a blocking agent, stabilizer, or carrier protein due to its stability, low cost, and non-reactivity in many biochemical assays. Antibodies targeting BSA are typically produced in immunized animals (e.g., rabbits, mice, or goats) by injecting purified BSA, which triggers an immune response. These antibodies are commonly used to detect or quantify BSA contamination in biological samples, validate experimental setups where BSA is a component, or study protein-protein interactions in immunoassays like ELISA, Western blotting, or immunohistochemistry.

BSA's structural homology with human serum albumin (~76%) can lead to cross-reactivity in some antibody applications, requiring careful validation to ensure specificity. Researchers often pre-adsorb anti-BSA antibodies with serum from other species to minimize cross-reactivity. Despite its immunogenicity, BSA itself is rarely a target in disease-related studies. Instead, anti-BSA antibodies serve as critical tools in quality control for biologics (e.g., vaccines or therapeutics) where residual BSA from production processes must be monitored. Their reliability and commercial availability make them indispensable in both research and industrial bioscience workflows.
