IgG (Fc specific) polyclonal, anti-human

Quantity: 1 ml

Background:
The reactivity of the antiserum is directed to the Fc subunit of the IgG molecule including all subclasses. In immunoelectrophoresis and double radial immunodiffusion, using various antiserum concentrations against normal human plasma and serum, a characteristic precipitin line is obtained which shows a reaction of identity with the precipitin line obtained with purified IgG. No reaction is obtained with purified IgA, IgM and IgG/Fab fragments or any other serum protein. As unlabelled primary or secondary reagent for indirect detection techniques, to prepare conjugates with markers of the user's own choice, to prepare an insoluble immunoaffinity adsorbent or a solid phase antibody reagent by coupling to an artificial carrier and as catching or detection antibody in non-isotopic methodology and solid phase immunochemistry. When applied in any cytochemical or histochemical procedure or solids phase coupling technique, the optimum concentration of the IgG preparation should always be established by titration. Typical working dilutions in histochemistry are usually between 1:100 and 1:250; in ELISA and comparable non-precipitating antibody-binding assays between 1:500 and 1:5,000.

Isotype: Goat Polyclonal

Source: Purified normal IgG isolated from pooled human serum. Freund's complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.

Form: Purified hyperimmune goat IgG, in phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2)

Specificity:
Specificity Reference Reagent. Purified IgG fraction of polyclonal Goat anti-Serum to Human IgG, Fc specific.

Reactivity: human

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 antiserum has not been tested in detail, however in immunoelectrophoresis a reaction with Rhesus Monkey, Cynomolgus and Baboon has been found.

Applications: Indirect immunofluorescence, ELISA, Dot blot, Immunoblotting

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