Monkey IgM (Fc specific) Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

CAT#: AP31441SU-N

Monkey IgM (Fc specific) rabbit polyclonal antibody, Serum

Specifications

Product Data

• Applications: ID, IP
• Recommended Dilution: Can be used in precipitating techniques as immunoelectrophoresis and radial immunodiffusion to identify the presence of IgM in monkey serum and other body fluids or to determine its concentration. To prepare an immunoadsorbent for the purification of monkey IgM from serum or plasma. This antiserum is not intended for use in non-precipitating antibodybinding or other highly sensitive assays. For such use labelled and unlabelled cytochemical and immunoassay grade reagents meeting the necessary additional specificity and performance requirements are available.
  Directions for use:
  In immunoelectrophoresis use 2 μl serum or equivalent against 120 μl antiserum.
  In double radial immunodiffusion use a rosette arrangement with 10 μl antiserum in 3 mm diameter centre well and 2 μl serum samples (neat and serially diluted) in 2 mm diameter peripheral wells.
• Reactivities: Monkey
• Host: Rabbit
• Clonality: Polyclonal
• Immunogen: Highly purified normal 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 restricted to the Fc part of the IgM molecule. In immunoelectrophoresis and radial immunodiffusion, using various antiserum concentrations against normal monkey serum a single precipitin line is obtained which shows a reaction of identity with the precipitin line obtained with purified IgM. No precipitation reaction is obtained with purified IgG, IgA, and IgG/Fab fragments.
  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: No preservative added. - No foreign proteins added.
  State: Serum
  State: Delipidated, heat inactivated, lyophilized, stable whole antiserum
• Reconstitution Method: Restore with 1,0 ml sterile distilled water.
• 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. The use of insolubilized adsorption antigens prevents the presence of excess adsorbent protein or immune complexes in the antiserum.
