Clone: Polyclonal
Background: The reactivity of the antiserum is directed to the surface and hidden determinants of Ig kappa light chain. In immunoelectrophoresis this antiserum is reacting with polyclonal and monoclonal immunoglobulins of the kappa type, Bence Jones proteins as well as free light chains of the kappa type. This antiserum does not react with any other protein of human serum or plasma. This antiserum is intended to detect and identify polyclonal immunoglobulins, purified monoclonal immunoglobulins of the kappa type as well as free light chains or Bence Jones proteins of the kappa type in serum or other body fluids using the immunofixation technique. Like immunoelectrophoresis immunofixation is essentially a two step technique. Proteins in a complex mixture are separated by electrophoresis in a gel carrier, followed by immunoprecipitation in situ with the antiserum. Non-precipitated proteins are removed by washing and the precipitated complex is revealed with a protein stain which allows its exact localization.Immunofixation may be the method of choice whenever a high level of sensitivity is required to identify a minor protein component against a high background of other proteins. It enables the detection and identification of more than one paraproteins in serum or of free light chain. The detection limit is approximately 0.5 to 1 mg/ml in the presence of normal levels of immunoglobulins.
Source: A pool of purified Bence Jones kappa proteins isolated from human urine. Freund’s complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.
Specificity: Ig fraction of polyclonal Goat antiSerum to free and bound Human Ig kappa light chain for use in immunofixation
Formulation: Goat Ig fraction lyophilized from a solution in phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.2). No preservative added, as it may interfere with the antibody activity.
