Other Performance Data: This lot is supplied in PBS/azide buffer
Physical State: Liquid (sterile filtered)
Purity and Specificity: Chicken IgM whole molecule was prepared from normal serum by a multi-step process which includes delipidation, selective precipitation and tandem molecular sieve chromatography followed by extensive dialysis against the buffer stated above. Chicken IgM whole molecule assayed by immunoelectrophoresis resulted in a single precipitin arc against anti-Chicken Serum and anti-Chicken IgM (µ chain specific). No reaction was observed against anti-Chicken IgG F(c). Some light chain cross reactivity will occur with anti-Chicken IgG. Analysis by SDS-PAGE was used to show purity at greater than 95%. Some high molecular weight banding may be visible. A minor band at ~50 kDa may also be visible.
Background: Immunoglobulin M is the largest antibody isotype and the first to be secreted against an initial exposure to antigen. IgM is predominantly produced in the spleen. Formed from covalently linking 5 immunoglobulins together, the approximate molecular weight of IgM is 900kDa and possesses 10 binding sites (though due to the size of most antigens, not all sites are capable of binding at once). Due to this large size, IgM is typically isolated to the serum.
Low Endotoxin: No
