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

Description

• General description: IgG (Immunoglobulin G) antibody subtype is the most abundant of serum immunoglobulins of the immune system. It is secreted by B cells and is found in blood and extracellular fluids. Maternal IgG is transferred to fetus through the placenta that is vital for immune defense of the neonate against infections.
• Specificity: Anti-Rat IgG (whole molecule) antibody recognizes rat (immunoglobulin G) IgG and is determined by immunoelectrophoresis (IEP) versus normal rat serum and rat IgG prior to conjugation.
• Immunogen: purified rat IgG
• Application: Anti-Rat IgG (whole molecule) Peroxidase antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blotting[1] and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
• Biochem/physiol Actions: IgGs are glycoprotein antibodies that modulate several immune responses. Rat IgGs against target proteins are often used as primary antibodies in various research applications. Thus, secondary anti-rat IgGs conjugated to a detectable substrate are useful tools for the analysis of target proteins.
• Physical form: Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 0.05% MIT
• Preparation Note: Prepared by the two-step glutaraldehyde method described by Avrameas, S., et al., Scand. J. Immunol., 8, Suppl. 7, 7 (1978).
• Storage and Stability: For continuous use, store at 2-8 °C for up to one month. For extended storage, the solution may be frozen in working aliquots. Repeated freezing and thawing, or storage in "frost-free" freezers, is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use.
