Rabbit anti-Rat IgM Antibody (FITC)

Catalog No. ABIN102714

Supplier Product No.: 212-4207

Product Details

Target: IgM

Reactivity: Rat

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: FITC

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS), FLISA, Fluorescence Microscopy (FM)

Supplier Product No.: 212-4207

Supplier: Rockland

Purpose: Rat IgM (mu) Antibody Fluorescein Conjugated

Cross-Reactivity (Details): Assay by immunoelectrophoresis resulted in a single precipitin arc against anti-fluorescein, anti-Rabbit Serum, Rat IgM and Rat Serum.  No reaction was observed against Rat IgG.

Characteristics: Anti-Rat IgG F(ab')2 Antibody generated in rabbit recognizes the dimeric Fab portion of the rat IgG molecule. Rat IgG F(ab')2 is a proteolytic fragment of immunoglobulin G (IgG) obtained by limited digestion with the enzyme pepsin under controlled conditions of temperature, time and pH . F(ab')2 Molecules lack the Fc portion of IgG and therefore receptors that bind rat IgG F(c) will not bind rat IgG F(ab')2 Molecules. Secondary Antibodies are available in a variety of formats and conjugate types. When choosing a secondary antibody product, consideration must be given to species and immunoglobulin specificity, conjugate type, fragment and chain specificity, level of cross-reactivity, and host-species source and fragment composition. This Anti-Rat IgG F(ab')2 is conjugated to Fluorescein.

Purification: This product is an IgG fraction antibody purified from monospecific antiserum by a multi-step process which includes delipidation, salt fractionation and ion exchange chromatography followed by extensive dialysis against the buffer stated above.

Immunogen: Optional[Immunogen]: Rat IgM mu heavy chain

Isotype: IgG

Target Details

Target: IgM

Abstract: IgM Products

Target Type: Antibody

Background: Immunoglobulin M is the largest antibody isotype and the first to be secreted against an initial exposure to antigen. IgM is predominantly produced in the spleen. Formed from covalently linking 5 immunoglobulins together, the approximate molecular weight of IgM is 900 kDa and possesses 10 binding sites (though due to the size of most antigens, not all sites are capable of binding at once). Due to this large size, IgM is typically isolated to the serum. Anti-Rat IgM antibody is ideal for investigators in Immunology, Microbiology, and Cell Biology. This Anti-Rat IgM antibody is conjugated to fluorescein.
