Rabbit anti-Mouse IgG F(ab')2 Secondary Antibody, AP, Invitrogen™

Description

Concentration may vary slightly from lot-to-lot, see lot-specific datasheet for exact concentration. This antibody has been successfully used in Western blot and IP applications. Antibody Specificity: This antibody reacts with the light chains on mouse IgG and with those common to most mouse immunoglobulins, based on electrophoresis. The antibody does not react with the Fc portion of mouse IgG. No antibody was detected against non-immunoglobulin serum proteins. However, antibodies may cross-react with immunoglobulins from other species. Restoration and Storage: Store product at 4°C until opened. Restore with 1.0 mL distilled water (0.7 mg/mL after restoration). Centrifuge product if it is not completely clear after standing for 1-2 hours at room temperature. To judge clarity, draw product into a pasteur pipette. Product is stable for several weeks at 4°C as an undiluted liquid. After dilution, do not use for more than one day. To extend the shelf-life of this product, add an equal volume of glycerol to make a final concentration of approximately 50% glycerol and store at -20°C. Country of Origin: USA

Anti-Mouse secondary antibodies are affinity-purified antibodies with well-characterized specificity for mouse immunoglobulins and are useful in the detection, sorting or purification of its specified target. Secondary antibodies offer increased versatility enabling users to use many detection systems (e.g. HRP, AP, fluorescence). They can also provide greater sensitivity through signal amplification as multiple secondary antibodies can bind to a single primary antibody. Most commonly, secondary antibodies are generated by immunizing the host animal with a pooled population of immunoglobulins from the target species and can be further purified and modified (i.e. immunoaffinity chromatography, antibody fragmentation, label conjugation, etc.) to generate highly specific reagents.
