Description
General description
IgG, a monomer, is the principal antibody circulating in blood which assist in phagocytic destruction of foreign microorganism and is the only class of Ig that can cross the placenta in humans. Cell-sorting done by differential binding of anti-mouse IgG (Fab Specific) - FITC antibody separates tumour cells from macrophages. This antibody can be used to incubate somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) rat embryos for immunocytochemical observation. It also can be used as a secondary antibody to study the dynamics of activated B lymphocytes in small intestine, Peyer′s patch germinal center as well as non-germinal center, spleen and the mesenteric lymph node. Anti-mouse IgG antibody reacts specifically with all mouse immunoglobulins.
Immunoglobulin G (IgG) belongs to the immunoglobulin family and is a widely expressed serum antibody. An immunoglobulin has two heavy chains and two light chains connected by a disulfide bond. It mainly helps in immune defense. It is a glycoprotein. IgG is a major class of immunoglobulin. Mouse consists of five immunoglobulin classes- IgM, IgG, IgA, IgD and IgE. Mouse IgG is further divided into five classes- IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b and IgG3.
Immunogen
Purified Fab fragments of mouse IgG.
Application
Anti-Mouse IgG (Fab Specific) FITC Conjugate antibody is used in traditional method of immunocytochemical assessment of ZAP-70 expression. It can also be used in immunocytochemical observation of the SCNT embryos.
Anti-Mouse IgG (Fab specific) F(ab′)2 fragment-FITC antibody produced in goat has been used in:
indirect immunofluorescence staining
immunofluorescence staining
flow cytometry
Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.
Flow cytometry/Cell sorting (1 paper)
Biochem/physiol Actions
Binds all mouse Igs.
Useful when trying to avoid background staining due to the presence of Fc receptors.
Immunoglobulin G (IgG) participates in hypersensitivity type II and type III reactions. IgG helps in opsonization, complement fixation and antibody dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity.
Physical form
Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% bovine serum albumin and 15 mM sodium azide.
Preparation Note
Adsorbed to reduce background staining with bovine, horse or human samples.
Other Notes
Antibody adsorbed with bovine, equine and human serum proteins.
