This Streptococcus Group A antibody is conjugated to FITC
Application
ELISA, Immunofluorescence (IF)
Cross-Reactivity (Details)
Type specific carbohydrate for group A Streptococcus. Does not cross-react with other Strep groups.
Characteristics
Goat anti Group A Streptococcus, Goat antibody to Streptococcus Group A Fluorescein conjugated
Purification
Immuno Affinity Purified antibody covalently coupled with high purity Isomer I of fluorescein isothiocyanate (F:P ratio 5.4). Care is taken to ensure complete removal of any free fluorescein from the final product.
Suitable for use in ELISA and IFA. Functions both as capture and detection antibody. A starting range of 1:10-1:50 is suggested. Direct FA staining of target antigens in a permissive tissue culture system. Acetone fixation of the antigen source is recommended prior to staining. Pre-block slide with 10 % normal goat serum. Each laboratory should determine an optimum working titer for use in its particular application. Other applications have not been tested but use in such assays should not necessarily be excluded.
This product contains sodium azide: a POISONOUS AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE which should be handled by trained staff only.
