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

Description

• General description: Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is made up of four polypeptide chains: two heavy chains (γ chains) and two light chains (κ or λ chains) which are inter linked by disulfide bonds. The Fab (fragment antigen binding) arm of IgG is formed by the VH and CH1 domains of the heavy and the light chains. The V regions of the antibody serve as the antigen-binding region. IgG class of immunoglobulins consists of four sub-classes i.e IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4.. T

Maternal IgG is transferred to fetus through the placenta that is vital for immune defense of the neonate against infections.
