IgG2 (subclass specific) polyclonal TRITC, anti-mouse

Quantity: 200 µl

Background:
The reactivity of the antiserum is directed to both subclasses IgG2a and IgG2b.It reacts with determinants specific for IgG2a and IgG2b and iso and allospecific determinants. It does not react with other subclasses of IgG, IgG/Fab fragments, IgM and IgA or any non-Ig protein in mouse serum, as tested by immunoelectrophoresis and double radial immunodiffusion. In immunocytochemical and immunohistochemical single and double staining for the detection of IgG2 at the cellular and subcellular level by staining of appropriately treated cell and tissue substrates; as indicating second antibody conjugate to analyze or separate human cells after reacting with monoclonal mouse antibodies in immunofluorescence microscopy, fluorescence activated cell sorting and flow cytometry; to identify and measure IgG2 in mouse serum or other body fluids.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 are usually between 1:10 and 1:40, depending on the method used.

Isotype: Goat Polyclonal

Source: Pools of purified homogenous IgG2a and IgG2b isolated from mouse serum of strains belonging to the allelic types Igh-1a and Igh-1b. Freund's complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.

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

Specificity:
Tetramethylrhodamine isothiocyanate-conjugated IgG fraction of polyclonal Goat anti-Serum to Mouse IgG2, subclass specific

Reactivity: mouse

Cross Reactivity:
This immunoconjugate is not species-specific since inter-species cross-reactivity is a normal feature of antisera to immunoglobulins. However this conjugate has been passed over appropriate immunoadsorbents to remove antibodies cross-reacting with Human immunoglobulins. This renders it specific for use in test systems containing material of Human origin (e.g. Human tissue/Mouse monoclonal antibody to a Human tissue constituent/anti Mouse Ig isotype-specific immunoconjugate

Applications: ELISA, Immunocytochemistry, Immunohistochemistry (frozen), (In)direct immunofluorescence

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