Clone: Polyclonal
Background: The reactivity of the antiserum is directed the major immunoglobulin isotypes of the rat Ig system (classes, subclasses and L-chain types), including antibodies to common determinants, to class and subclass-specific determinants, and to the surface determinants of the common Fab portion, as tested by immunoelectrophoresis and double radial immunodiffusion using various antiserum concentrations against normal rat plasma and serum. In immunocytochemical and immunohistochemical staining of immunoglobulins at the cellular and subcellular level of appropriately treated cell and tissue substrates; to demonstrate circulating antibodies in serodiagnostic microbiology and autoimmune diseases; to identify a specific antigen using a reference antibody of rat origin in the middle layer of the indirect test procedure; in non-isotopic assay methodology (e.g. ELISA) to measure immunoglobulins in rat serum or other body fluids. As a second step an avidin or streptavidin conjugate of the user’s choice has to be used. 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 polyclonal IgG, including all subclasses, and pools of homogenous IgA, IgM isolated from rat serum. Freund’s complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.
Specificity: Biotin-conjugated IgG fraction of polyclonal Goat antiSerum to Rat IgG, IgA and IgM, heavy and light chains.
Formulation: Biotin-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 the antibody activity.
