Anti-Goat/sheep IgG antibody, Mouse monoclonal

Description

• General description: Goat and sheep antibodies are widely used as primary antibodies against many antigens in various assay techniques in research and clinical practices. Polyclonal second antibodies to goat and sheep may suffer from a lack of unique specificity to goat or sheep IgGs, and may cross react with other IgGs from human, mouse, rat or rabbit origin. As a result, an extensive adsorbing stage has to be integrated in the manufacturing process of most polyclonal antibodies. The use of a monoclonal antibody specific to goat or sheep IgG which is devoid of any binding capacity to human and many other species, can therefore serve as an essential tool and a useful control in many tests and applications.
• Specificity: Monoclonal Anti-Goat/sheep recognizes an epitope located on the heavy chain of goat IgG1 and IgG2. The antibody shows strong cross-reactivity with sheep IgG and weak cross-reactivity with bovine IgG. No cross-reactivity is observed with IgG derived from human, monkey, guinea pig, rat, horse, fish, donkey, dog, chicken, pig, mouse, rabbit or cat origin. The antibody is recommended to use in various immunological techniques, including ELISA, Immunoblotting, immunofluorescence and Immunohistochemistry.
• Immunogen: purified goat immunoglobulins (IgGs).
• Biochem/physiol Actions: Immunoglobulin G (IgG) participates in hypersensitivity type II and type III.
• Physical form: Supplied as a solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide as a preservative.
• Other Notes: This product is for R&D use only, not for drug, household, or other uses.
