Anti-Monkey IgG (whole molecule)−Peroxidase antibody produced in rabbit

Description

• General description: Immunoglobulins (Igs) have two heavy (H) and two light (L) chains, held together by disulphide linkages. They belong to the immunoglobulin super-family. The heavy chain has one variable N-terminal region and three to four constant (CH1-CH4) C-terminal regions. The light chain has one variable and constant region. IgGs are subclassified into IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4.
• Immunogen: monkey IgG (rhesus)
• Application: Anti-Monkey IgG (whole molecule)−Peroxidase antibody produced in rabbit has been used in ELISA of serum samples.
• Biochem/physiol Actions: Digestion of IgG by papain results in generation of fragment antigen binding (Fab). Pepsin digestion of IgG results in fragment crystallizable (Fc). Fc regions of IgG antibody have enormous therapeutic potential and are exploited for the development of therapeutic antibodies. IgG1 class is the most abundant and its deficiency results in hypogammaglobulinemia. IgG2 deficiency increases susceptibility to bacterial infections. IgG3 mediates effector functions and IgG4 is associated with asymptomatic infection. The IgG levels in monkey show age related increase. In monkeys, IgG subtypes comprises the predominant antibodies during immune response after hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) vaccination. The human and monkey IgG sequences show divergence only in the hinge region and hence exploited for therapeutic antibody testing.
