General description

IgG antibody subtype is the most abundant serum immunoglobulins of the immune system. It is secreted by B cells and is found in blood and extracellular fluids and provides protection from infections caused by bacteria, fungi and viruses. Maternal IgG is transferred to fetus through the placenta that is vital for immune defence of the neonate against infections Anti-Human IgG (Fc specific)-FITC antibody specifically recognizes Fc fragment of all human IgG subclasses. The conjugate shows no reactivity with human IgG Fab fragment, IgA, IgM and light chains and normal mouse or rat serum proteins. The antibody is purified by immunospecific purification and then conjugated to FITC.

Immunoglobulin G (IgG) belongs to the immunoglobulin family and is a widely expressed serum antibody. An immunoglobulin has two heavy chains and two light chains connected by a disulfide bond. It is a glycoprotein. IgG is usually found as a monomer. IgG is further subdivided into four classes namely, IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4. About 70 percent of the total immunoglobulin consists of IgG. The antibody is isolated from goat anti-human IgG antiserum by immunospecific purification, which removes essentially all goat serum proteins, including immunoglobulins, which do not specifically bind to the Fc fragment of human IgG.
