Goat anti-Human IgA Antibody (FITC)

Catalog No. ABIN5608104

Product Details

Target: IgA

Fragment: F(ab')2 fragment

Reactivity: Human

Host: Goat

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: FITC

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

Purpose: F(ab')2 Human IgA (alpha chain) Antibody Fluorescein Conjugated

Cross-Reactivity (Details): Assay by immunoelectrophoresis resulted in a single precipitin arc against anti-fluorescein, anti-Goat Serum, Human IgA and Human Serum.  No reaction was observed against anti-Pepsin or anti-Goat IgG F(c).  Specificity was confirmed by ELISA at less than 1 % cross-reactivity against other human heavy or light chain isotypes.

Characteristics: F(ab')2 Anti-Human IgG F(ab')2 Antibody generated in goat detects F(ab')2 from human. Representing approximately 75 % of serum immunoglobulins in humans, IgG is the most abundant antibody isotype found in the circulation. IgG molecules are synthesized and secreted by plasma B cells. 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. F(ab')2 Antibody is ideal for investigators who routinely perform flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry or IHC and other immunoassays.

Purification: This product was prepared from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography using antigens coupled to agarose beads followed by solid phase adsorption(s) to remove any unwanted reactivities, pepsin digestion and chromatographic separation.

Immunogen: Optional[Immunogen]: Human IgA alpha heavy chain

Isotype: IgG

Application Details

Application Notes: Application Note: F(ab')2 Anti-Human IgA Fluorescein Antibody is designed for immunofluorescence microscopy, fluorescence based plate assays (FLISA) and fluorescent western blotting. This product is also suitable for multiplex analysis, including multicolor imaging, utilizing various commercial platforms. Suitable for immunomicroscopy and flow cytometry or FACS analysis as well as other antibody based fluorescent assays requiring extremely low background levels, absence of F(c) mediated binding, lot-to-lot consistency, high titer and specificity.

Target: IgA

Abstract: IgA Products

Target Type: Antibody

Background: F(ab')2 Anti-Human IgA Fluorescein Antibody generated in goat detects immunoglobulin A (alpha chain) from human. Immunoglobulin A (IgA) is an antibody that plays a critical role in mucosal immunity. IgA has two subclasses (IgA1 and IgA2) and can exist in a dimeric form called secretory IgA (sIgA). 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. F(ab')2 Antibody is ideal for investigators who routinely perform flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry or IHC and other immunoassays.
