Sheep anti-Guinea Pig IgG (Fc Region) Antibody (FITC)

Catalog No. ABIN457779

Product Details

Target: IgG

Binding Specificity: Fc Region

Reactivity: Guinea Pig

Host: Sheep

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: FITC

Application: ELISA, Immunofluorescence (IF), Immunocytochemistry (ICC), Immunohistochemistry (Frozen Sections) (IHC (fro))

Specificity: Fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated IgG fraction of polyclonal Sheep antiSerum to Guinea Pig IgG, Fc specific.

Cross-Reactivity (Details): Inter-species cross-reactivity is a normal feature of antibodies to immunoglobulins, since IgG of different species frequently share antigenic determinants. Cross-reactivity of this antiSerum has not been tested in detail.

Characteristics: The reactivity of the antiserum is directed to the Fc subunit of the IgG molecule. In immunoelectrophoresis and double radial immunodiffusion, using various antiserum concentrations against normal guinea pig plasma and serum, a single characteristic precipitin line is obtained which shows a reaction of identity with the precipitin line obtained with purified IgG. No reaction is obtained with purified IgA, IgM and IgG/Fab fragments. In direct staining of cytoplasmic IgG in fixed guinea pig cells and tissue substrates, to identify circulating IgG antibodies in serodiagnostic microbiology and autoimmune diseases, to identify a specific antigen or immune complex using a reference antibody of guinea pig in the middle layer of the test procedure. This immunoconjugate is not pre-diluted. The optimum working dilution of each conjugate should be established by titration before being used. Excess labelled antibody must be avoided because it may cause high unspecific background staining and interfere with the specific signal.

Purification: Purified

Immunogen: Purified normal IgG isolated from pooled guinea pig serum. Freund's complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Format: Lyophilized

Reconstitution: It is reconstituted by adding 1 mL sterile distilled water, spun down to remove insoluble particles, divided into small aliquots, frozen and stored at or below -20 °C.FITC-coupled purified hyperimmune sheep IgG lyophilized from a solution in phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2). No preservative added, as it may interfere with the antibody activity. It is reconstituted by adding 1 mL sterile distilled water, spun down to remove insoluble particles, divided into small aliquots, frozen and stored at or below -20 °C.

Buffer: FITC-coupled purified hyperimmune sheep IgG lyophilized from a solution in phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2). No preservative added, as it may interfere with the antibody activity.

Preservative: Without preservative

Storage: RT,4 °C,-20 °C

Storage Comment: The lyophilized conjugate is shipped at ambient temperature and may be stored at +4°C, prolonged storage at or below -20°C. Prior to use, an aliquot is thawed slowly in the dark at ambient temperature, spun down again and used to prepare working dilutions by adding sterile phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2). Repeated thawing and freezing should be avoided. Working dilutions should be stored at +4°C, not refrozen, and preferably used the same day. If a slight precipitation occurs upon storage, this should be removed by centrifugation. It will not affect the performance of the immunoconjugate.
