Specifications

Product Data

• Applications: ELISA, ID, IF, IHC, IP, WB
• Recommended Dilution: Can be used in immunocytochemical and immunohistochemical staining of IgM at the cellular and subcellular level of appropriately treated cell and tissue substrates; to demonstrate circulating IgM antibodies in serodiagnostic microbiology and autoimmune diseases; to identify a specific antigen using a reference antibody of monkey origin known to be of the IgM isotype in the middle layer of the indirect test procedure; in non-isotopic assay methodology (e.g. ELISA) to measure IgM in monkey serum or other body fluids. As a second step an avidin or streptavidin conjugate of the user’s choice has to be used. 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.
  Recommended working dilutions:
  Histochemical and cytochemical use are usually between 1/100 and 1/250.
  ELISA and comparable non-precipitating antibody-binding assays between 1/1000 and 1/3000.
• Reactivities: Monkey
• Host: Goat
• Isotype: IgG
• Clonality: Polyclonal
• Immunogen: Purified IgM isolated from Rhesus monkey serum. Freund’s complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.
• Specificity: The reactivity of the antiserum is directed to the Fc subunit of the IgM molecule which expresses strict isotypic (class) specificity. It does not react with IgG, IgA and IgG/Fab or any non-Ig protein in monkey serum, as tested by immunoelectrophoresis and double radial immunodiffusion.
  Cross-reactivity: The antiserum does not cross react with any other component of the monkey immunoglobulin system. Inter-species cross-reactivity is a normal feature of antibodies to immunoglobulins, since Ig of different species frequently share antigenic determinants. Precipitation reactions have been observed with IgM in serum of other old-world monkeys, including Cercopithecus, Cynomolgus and baboon. The antiserum may also react with IgM of other species as has been observed for chimpanzee and man.
• Formulation: PBS, pH 7.2
  No preservative added, as it may interfere with the antibody activity. No foreign proteins added.
  Label: Biotin
  State: Lyophilised hyperimmune Ig fraction
  Label: Marker: N-Hydroxysuccinimidobiotin Conjugation procedure: Conjugation is carried out using a proprietary technique for the binding to biotin, followed by several purification steps. After each step activity and specificity are tested in a variety of techniques. The conjugate is lyophilized to assure stability and long shelf life
  Molar radio: 5,4
• Reconstitution Method: Restore with 1 ml sterile distilled water
• Concentration: 10 mg/ml
• Purification: DEAE-column Chromatography
• Conjugation: Biotin
• Storage: Prior to reconstitution store at 2-8°C.
  Following reconstitution store undiluted at 2-8°C for one week
  or (in aliquots) at -20°C for longer.
  Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
• Note: Adsorption: Immunoaffinity adsorbed using insolubilized antigens as required to eliminate antibodies cross-reacting with other components of the immunoglobulin system or reacting with other serum proteins. Special attention is given to the removal of antibodies to common Ig/Fab. The use of insolubilized adsorption antigens prevents the presence of excess adsorbent protein or immune complexes in the antiserum.
