Application

Mouse IgG2a Negative Control Monoclonal Antibody validated for use in Flow Cytometry & Immunofluorescence.

Research Sub CategoryIsotype Control Antibodies

Fluorescein conjugated mouse IgG2a is a monoclonal antibody intended for use as a negative control in immunofluorescence, flow cytometry. Its use enables an estimation of non-specific binding of mouse monoclonal antibodies to cell surface components in peripheral blood and tissue.

SUGGESTED USAGE

Flow cytometry and immunofluorescence - use 10 µl direct from the vial per 100 µl of whole blood, or 1 x 10E6 peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) or bone marrow cells in 100 µl buffer.

Physical form

Purified from mouse ascitic fluid. Fluorescein conjugated, ready to use. The antibody is supplied in 1.0ml phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 0.2% bovine serum albumin and 0.1% sodium azide. The characteristics of each lot are tested by electrophoresis and flow cytometry.

Specificity

This antibody reacts with the outer membrane protein of some strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. No reaction with human cell surface or plasma components has been observed. However, some binding to Fc receptors may occur.

Storage and Stability

Store at 2 to 8°C, for up to 6 months. DO NOT FREEZE. Protect from light.

WARNING: The monoclonal reagent solution contains 0.1% sodium azide as a preservative. Due to potential hazards arising from the build up of this material in pipes, spent reagent should be disposed of with liberal volumes of water.
