Clone: Polyclonal
Background: The reactivity of the antiserum is directed to the Fab subunits of intact IgG, IgA IgM and other Ig classes of both light chain types, with their Fab or F(ab’)2 subunits, and with free light chains of kappa and lambda type. In immunoelectrophoresis and double radial immunodiffusion using various antiserum concentrations against pooled guinea pig serum a characteristic precipitin line is obtained, which shows a reaction of identity with the precipitin line of the purified Fab. Direct staining of fixed cell and tissue substrates; to demonstrate the intracellular presence of free or Ig-bound subunits of both kappa or lambda type. In general this conjugate is not recommended as direct or indirect screening reagent for If isotypes on surface membranes of vital lymphoid cells. The activity to the common Ig/Fab subunit may result in the staining of immunoglobulins bound to the Fc-receptors on non-lymphoid cells. Combinations of isotype-specific reagents should be used instead for this purpose.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.
Source: Purified normal Fab of polyclonal guinea pig IgG. Freund’s complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.
Specificity: Fluorescein isothiocyanate–conjugated IgG fraction of polyclonal Goat antiSerum to Guinea Pig Fab of IgG.
Formulation: FITC-coupled purified hyperimmune goat IgG lyophilized from a solution in phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2). No preservative added as it may interfere with he antibody activity.
