TAs a control in the tests where mouse IgG1 (with irrelevant specificity) should be used to show the presence of that given mouse isotype. In indirect tests as reagent to horseradish peroxidase or to potentiatethe visualisation of a peroxidase labelled conjugate in the appropriate material. As secondary reagent a labelled anti mouse IgG will serve for the detection. This system can be further be potentiated by the use of anti-FITC or anti-TRITC conjugates. For histochemical use optimum dilutions are mostly from 1:50 to 1:200, in ELISA from 1:500 upwards, in Western blotting from 1:1,000 upwards. These data should be interpreted as general recommendations only.

Format
Lyophilized
Concentration
IgG concentration is 0.4 mg/ml. No foreign proteins added.
Buffer
Purified mouse IgG1 kappa lyophilized from a solution in phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.2).
Storage
4 °C/-20 °C
Storage Comment
The lyophilized product is shipped at ambient temperature and may be stored at +4 °C, prolonged storage at or below - 20 °C. Reconstitute the lyophilized ascites by adding 0.5 ml sterile distilled water. Dilutions may be prepared by adding phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2). Avoid repeated thawing and freezing. If a slight precipitation occurs upon storage, this should be removed by centrifugation and will not affect the performance of the product. Diluted solutions should be stored at +4 °C, not refrozen, and preferably used the same day.
