IgD (Fc specific) polyclonal HRP, anti-mouse

Quantity: 50 µl

Background:
The reactivity of the antiserum is directed to the Fc subunit of the IgD molecule which expresses strict isotypic (class) specificity. In immunoelectrophoresis and radial immunodiffusion, using various antiserum concentrations against serum of mice belonging to different allotypic groups, a single precipitin line is obtained which show a reaction of identity with the precipitin lines obtained with the purified IgD of BALB/C and C57BL origin used as immunogens. It does not react with IgG, including all subclasses, IgM and IgG/Fab or any non-Ig protein in mouse serum, as tested by immunoelectrophoresis and double radial immunodiffusion. The antiserum also reacts with membrane-bound IgD in peripheral blood cells of different mouse strains as tested by immunofluorescence microscopy. In enzyme-immunocytochemical and immunohistochemical staining of IgD at the cellular and subcellular level of appropriately treated cell and tissue substrates; to demonstrate circulating IgD antibodies in serodiagnostic microbiology and autoimmune diseases; to identify a specific antigen using a reference antibody of mouse origin known to be of the IgD isotype in the middle layer of the indirect test procedure; in non-isotopic assay methodology (e.g. ELISA) to measure IgD in mouse serum or other body fluids. As a second step an avidin or streptavidin conjugate of the user's choice has to be used.This immunoconjugate is not pre-diluted. The optimum working dilution of each conjugate should be established by titration before being used. Excess labelled antibody must be avoided because it may cause high unspecific background staining and interfere with the specific signal.Working dilutions for histochemical and cytochemical use may vary widely, but are usually between 1:50 and 1:250; in ELISA and comparable non-precipitating antibody-binding assays between 1:500 and 1:5,000.

Isotype: Goat Polyclonal

Source: Purified polyclonal and monoclonal IgD isolated from BALB/C and C57BL mouse serum. Freund's complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.

Form: Horseradish peroxidase-coupled purified hyperimmune goat IgG, in phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2).

Specificity:
Horseradish peroxidase-conjugated IgG fraction of polyclonal Goat anti-Serum to Mouse IgD, Fc specific

Reactivity: mouse

Cross Reactivity:
Inter-species cross-reactivity is a normal feature of antibodies to immunoglobulins, since Ig of different species frequently share antigenic determinants. Cross-reactivity of this immunoconjugate has not been tested in detail.

Applications: ELISA, Immunocytochemistry, Immunohistochemistry (paraffin), Dot blot, Immunoblotting

Storage: Store at 4C, or in small aliquots at -20C.
