Immunogen: Swine IgM mu heavy chain
Physical State: Lyophilized
Purity and Specificity: This product was prepared from monospecific antiserum by a delipidation and defibrination. Assay by immunoelectrophoresis resulted in a single precipitin arc against anti-rabbit serum, Swine IgM and Swine Serum. No reaction was observed against Swine IgG.
Background: Anti-Swine IgM antibody generated in rabbit specifically detects swine IgM. 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. When choosing a secondary antibody product, consideration must be given to species and immunoglobulin specificity, conjugate type, fragment and chain specificity, level of cross-reactivity, and host-species source and fragment composition. Anti-Swine IgM antibody is ideal for investigators in Immunology, Microbiology, and Cell Biology.
Low Endotoxin: No
Secondary Antibody Specificity: IgM µ chain
