Goat anti-Mouse IgM Antibody

Catalog No. ABIN965158

Supplier Product No.: 710-1107

Product Details

Target: IgM

Fragment: F(ab')2 fragment

Reactivity: Mouse

Host: Goat

Clonality: Polyclonal

Application: ELISA, Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Western Blotting (WB)

Supplier Product No.: 710-1107

Supplier: Rockland

Purpose: F(ab')2 Mouse IgM (mu chain) Antibody

Cross-Reactivity (Details): Assay by immunoelectrophoresis resulted in a single precipitin arc against anti-Goat Serum, Mouse IgM and Mouse 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 mouse heavy or light chain isotypes.

Characteristics: F(ab')2 Mouse IgG (H&L) Antibody was generated by enzymatic cleavage and subsequent separation from the Fc fragment.

Purification: F(ab')2 anti-Mouse IgM antibody was prepared from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography using Mouse IgM coupled to agarose beads followed by solid phase adsorption(s) to remove any unwanted reactivities, pepsin digestion and chromatographic separation.

Sterility: Sterile filtered

Immunogen:

Immunogen: Anti-Mouse IgM was produced by repeated immunization with Mouse IgM heavy chain in goat.

Immunogen Type: Native Protein

Isotype: IgG

Application Details

Application Notes: Application Note: F(ab')2 anti-Mouse IgM antibody has been tested by ELISA and is suitable for immunomicroscopy and flow cytometry or FACS analysis as well as other antibody based assays requiring extremely low background levels, absence of F(c) mediated binding, lot-to-lot consistency, high titer and specificity. The maximum amount of reagent required to stain 1 x 10E6 cells in flow cytometry is approximately 1.0 μg of antibody. Lesser amounts of reagent may be sufficient for staining. Optimal titers for other applications should be determined by the researcher. As a general guideline dilutions of 1:100 to 1:250 should be suitable for most applications. Immunohistochemistry Dilution: 1:1,000 - 1:5,000 Western Blot Dilution: 1:200 - 1:2,000 ELISA Dilution: 1:2,000 - 1:8,000 Other: User Optimized

Abstract: IgM Products

Target Type: Antibody

Background: Because of their smaller size, F(ab)2 fragments offer several advantages over intact antibodies for use in certain immunochemical techniques and experimental applications. F(ab)2 fragments penetrate into tissue samples and show better antigen recognition and signal generation in IHC. F(ab)2 fragments lack the Fc region and therefore do not bind Fc receptors which effectively lowers background staining. F(ab')2 Mouse IgM antibody is ideal for investigators who routinely perform flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry or IHC and other immunoassays.
