Rat IgG1 kappa Isotype Control (eBRG1), PE-Cyanine7, eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Description

• Description: The monoclonal rat IgG1, kappa is useful as an isotype control immunoglobulin
• Applications Reported: This rat IgG1 isotype control has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis
• Applications Tested: Rat IgG1 K Isotype Control PE-Cyanine7 has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse splenocytes
• This can be used at the same concentration as the experimental antibody
• This can be used at less than or equal to 1 μg per test
• A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL
• Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test
• It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest
• Light sensitivity: This tandem dye is sensitive photo-induced oxidation
• Please protect this vial and stained samples from light
• Fixation: Samples can be stored in IC Fixation Buffer (cat
• 00-8222) (100 μL cell sample + 100 μL IC Fixation Buffer) or 1-step Fix/Lyse Solution (cat
• 00-5333) for up to 3 days in the dark at 4°C with minimal impact on brightness and FRET efficiency/compensation
• Some generalizations regarding fluorophore performance after fixation can be made, but clone specific performance should be determined empirically
• Excitation: 488-561 nm; Emission: 775 nm; Laser: Blue Laser, Green Laser, Yellow-Green Laser
• Filtration: 0.2 μm post-manufacturing filtered
• Rat IgG1 is a subclass of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies that are commonly used in research and diagnostics
• These antibodies are produced by rats in response to an antigen and can be purified from serum or hybridoma cell culture supernatants
• Rat IgG1 is often used as a negative control in experiments, as it does not bind to many mammalian antigens
• It is also used in immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, and western blotting to detect specific antigens
• Gene targeting is a powerful tool used to manipulate the rat genome and generate animal models for studying human diseases
• With gene targeting, specific genes can be knocked out, inserted, or modified to investigate their role in disease pathogenesis.
