lambda antibody

Catalog No. ABIN3026854

Product Details

Target: lambda

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: Un-conjugated

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunofluorescence (IF), Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p))

Characteristics: This mAb is specific to lambda light chain of immunoglobulin and shows no cross-reaction with lambda light chain or any of the five heavy chains. In mammals, the two light chains in an antibody are always identical, with only one type of light chain, kappa or lambda. The ratio of Kappa to Lambda is 70:30. However, with the occurrence of multiple myeloma or other B-cell malignancies this ratio is disturbed. Antibody to the lambda light chain is reportedly useful in the identification of leukemias, plasmacytomas, and certain non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. Demonstration of clonality in lymphoid infiltrates indicates that the infiltrate is malignant.

Purification: Protein G affinity chromatography

Immunogen: Purified human lambda light chain was used as the immunogen for this Lambda antibody.

Clone: LAM03

Isotype: IgG1 kappa

Application Details

Application Notes: The optimal dilution of the Lambda antibody for each application should be determined by the researcher.
