Physical State: Lyophilized
Purity and Specificity: This product was prepared from normal serum by delipidation, salt fractionation, ion exchange chromatography followed by extensive dialysis against the buffer stated above. Assay by immunoelectrophoresis resulted in a single precipitin arc against anti-Mouse IgG2a and anti-Mouse Serum. Isotyping assay resulted the material is non-reactive with antisera to mouse IgG1, IgG2b, IgG3, IgM, and IgA. Rhodamine Conjugated Mouse IgG2a was proven by Dot Blot.
Background: Isotype controls are important for Flow Cytometry and have no specificity for target cells within a particular experiment. Their purpose is to confirm the specificity of primary antibody binding that it is not a result of non-specific Fc receptor binding to cells or other cellular protein interactions. Isotype controls need to be matched to the specific primary Abs (species and isotype, including heavy and light chains) being used.
Low Endotoxin: No
