Human IgA Isotype Control, Invitrogen™

Description

• Concentration may vary slightly from lot-to-lot, see lot-specific datasheet for exact concentration
• Purity: The precipitin lines against goat anti-human whole serum are the same as those against goat anti-human IgA, alpha chain specific, when assayed by immunoelectrophoresis at an antigen concentration of 20 mg/mL
• No reaction was observed against goat anti-human IgG, Fc fragment-specific or goat anti-human IgM, Fc5-mu fragment specific
• This antibody is recommended for use in blocking assays, immunohistochemical, immunocytochemical and immunofluorescent applications
• Storage: Store product at 4°C until opened
• After opening, dilute only enough antibody for a single day's use
• Store remainder at 4°C under sterile conditions
• Country of Origin: USA Human IgA, also known as human immunoglobulin A, is an antibody that is produced by the immune system in response to antigens
• It is the most abundant immunoglobulin in mucosal secretions, such as saliva, tears, and breast milk, and plays a key role in defense against pathogens at mucosal surfaces
• IgA works by binding to specific antigens and preventing them from entering the body's tissues
• It can also activate complement and promote phagocytosis by immune cells
• Human IgA can be used in research to study the immune response to pathogens and to develop diagnostic tests and therapeutic interventions for infectious diseases.
