Application

Anti-Mouse IgG (Fab specific) antibody produced in goat has been used in the expression and purification of human platelet factor 4 (PF4) and anti-PF4 monoclonal antibodies.

Anti-Mouse IgG (Fab specific) antibody produced in goat was used as secondary antibody in immunocytochemical staining at a dilution of 1:10.

Biochem/physiol Actions

IgG activates the classical pathway of the complement system. It neutralizes virus particles and toxins. IgG plays a critical role in antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). It has the longest serum half life and might be associated with allergy.

IgG antibody subtype is the most abundant of serum immunoglobulins of the immune system. It is secreted by B cells and is found in blood and extracellular fluids. It provides protection from infections caused by bacteria, fungi and viruses. Maternal IgG is transferred to fetus through the placenta that is vital for immune defense of the neonate against infections.
