Application

Anti-Mouse IgG (Fab specific)-FITC antibody may be used for immunofluorescence of human peripheral blood lymphocytes at a minimum dilution of 1:64. It may be used for immunohistochemistry of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human tonsil slides at a working antibody dilution of 1:200. For immunofluorescence, a working dilution of 1:200 was used in various studies. To study DNA synthesis in mouse two-cell stage embryos by BrdU antibody, mouse IgG (Fab specific)-FITC antibody dilution of 1:50 was used.

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.

Immunogen

Purified mouse IgG

Other Notes

Antibody adsorbed with human IgG and rat serum proteins.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

Preparation Note

Adsorbed to reduce background with human or rat samples

Specificity

Anti-Mouse IgG (Fab specific)-FITC antibody is specific for Fab fragment of all mouse IgG subclasses. It shows no reactivity with mouse IgG, Fc fragment, or human IgG. Goat anti-Mouse IgG is conjugated to FITC and then purified by gel filtration to remove free FITC. The antibody is adsorbed with human IgG and rat serum proteins to ensure minimal cross reactivity.
