IgG IgA IgM (Fc specific) polyclonal HRP, anti-monkey

Quantity: 200 µl

Background:
The reactivity of the antiserum is directed to the Fc subunits of the major isotypes of the monkey immunoglobulin system. No reaction is obtained with purified IgG/Fab or any non-Ig protein of monkey serum, as tested by immunoelectrophoresis and double radial immunodiffusion. In immunoelectrophoresis and double radial immunodiffusion using various antiserum concentrations against normal monkey plasma and serum, the characteristic IgG, IgA and IgM precipitin lines are obtained. In enzyme-immunocytochemical and immunohistochemical staining for the detection of cytoplasmic Ig at the cellular and subcellular level by staining of appropriately treated cell and tissue substrates, and to demonstrate circulating antibodies in serodiagnostic microbiology and autoimmune diseases. The absence of activity to the common Ig/Fab subunit prevents the reaction of this conjugate with immunoglobulins bounds to Fc receptors on non-lymphoid cells.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 are usually between 1:100 and 1:500; in ELISA and comparable non-precipitating antibody-binding assays between 1:1,000 and 1:8,000.

Isotype: Goat Polyclonal

Source: Purified polyclonal monkey IgG, and IgA and IgM containing factions isolated from monkey serum. Freund's complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.

Form: 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 Monkey IgG, IgA and IgM, Fc specific.

Reactivity: Monkey

Cross Reactivity:
Inter-species cross-reactivity is a normal feature of antibodies to immunoglobulins, since Ig of different species frequently share antigenic determinants. Precipitation reactions have been observed with immunoglobulins in Serum of other old-world Monkeys, including Cercopithecus, Cynomolgus and Baboon. The conjugate may also react with other species as has been observed for Chimpanzee and man.

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

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