Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Veterinary Science
  • Wildlife Forensics

Context:

  • Tiger products are often traded illegally.
  • Accurate identification of tiger bone is crucial for conservation efforts.
  • Existing methods for tiger bone identification can be time-consuming or require specialized equipment.

Purpose:

  • To develop a reliable method for identifying tiger bone.
  • To create specific antibodies (anti-tiger sera) capable of detecting tiger proteins.
  • To establish a serological test for tiger bone authentication.

Summary:

  • Rabbits were immunized with tiger serum proteins to produce anti-tiger sera.
  • These sera exhibit specific serological reactions with proteins found in tiger bone.
  • The developed assay enables the identification of tiger bone based on these reactions.
