Applications ELISA, ID, IF, IHC, IP, WB
Recommended Dilution Can be used in Immunocytochemical and Immunohistochemical use for the detection of IgM at the cellular and subcellular level by staining of appropriately treated cell and tissue substrates; to demonstrate circulating IgM antibodies in serodiagnostic microbiology and autoimmune diseases; to identify a specific antigen using an reference antibody of goat 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 rabbit 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: 1/100 - 1/250.
ELISA and comparable non-precipitating antibody-binding assays: 1/1000 - 1/10000.
Reactivities Rabbit
Host Goat
Isotype IgG
Clonality Polyclonal
Immunogen Purified normal IgM isolated from pooled rabbit 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 any non-Ig protein in rabbit serum, as tested by immunoelectrophoresis and double radial immunodiffusion.
Cross-reactivity: Inter-species cross-reactivity is a normal feature of antibodies to immunoglobulins, since Ig of different species frequently share antigenic determinants. Cross-reactivity of this antiserum has not been tested in detail.
Formulation PBS, pH 7.2 without preservatives and foreign proteins
Label: Biotin
State: Lyophilized IgG fraction
Molar radio: Biotin/IgG: ~4.9
Reconstitution Method Restore by adding 1.0 ml of sterile distilled water
Concentration 10.0 mg/ml
Purification Ammonium Sulphate Precipitation and Ion Exchange Chromatography
Conjugation Biotin
Storage Prior to and following reconstitution store the antibody at 2-8°C for one month or 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.
