Anti-KLH has been prepared from mouse ascitic fluid by immunoaffinity chromatography. KLH antibody is specific for KLH. Does not cross react with mouse heart or skin tissue sections. Cross-reactivity from other sources has not been determined.
Characteristics
KLH antibody is used to detect Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin. KLH is a copper-containing oxygen carrier occurring freely dissolved in the hemolymph of many mollusks and arthropods. KLH is often used in molecular immunology as a carrier protein conjugated to low molecular weight molecules such as peptides, amino acids, nucleic acids, drugs or toxins to render them more immunogenic due to the size of the conjugate complex and the immunogenicity of KLH. KLH forms a large complex composed of ~50 kDa subunits.
Sterility
Sterile filtered
Immunogen
Anti-KLH (MOUSE) Monoclonal Antibody was produced in mouse by repeated immunizations with KLH (Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin) followed by hybridoma development. Immunogen Type: NativeProtein
Anti-KLH can be used as an IgM isotype control in various assays or in ELISA assays to detect KLH or KLH conjugates. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user.
