Physical State: Liquid (sterile filtered)
Purity and Specificity: Mouse IgM 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. Assay by immunoelectrophoresis resulted in a single precipitin arc against anti-Mouse Serum and anti-Mouse IgM (µ chain specific). No reaction was observed against anti-Mouse IgG F(c). Some light chain cross-reactivity will occur with anti-Mouse IgG.
Background: Mouse IgM, or mouse Immunoglobulin M, purified protein is a basic antibody that is produced by B cells. Mouse IgM is by far the physically largest antibody in the human circulatory system. Mouse IgM is the first antibody to appear in response to initial exposure to antigen. IgM is predominantly produced in the spleen. Mouse IgM is formed from covalently linking 5 immunoglobulins together, the approximate molecular weight of IgM is 900kDa and possesses 10 binding sites.
Low Endotoxin: No
