Quick Overview for beta-2 Microglobulin antibody (ABIN458094)

Target: beta-2 Microglobulin (B2M) (beta-2-Microglobulin (B2M))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This beta-2 Microglobulin antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Immunodiffusion (ID), Immunoelectrophoresis (IEP), Radial Immunodiffusion (RID)

Product Details anti-beta-2 Microglobulin Antibody

Specificity: The antiserum does not cross-react with any other human plasma proteins as tested in gel-diffusion techniques. Inter-species cross-reactivity is a normal feature of antibodies to plasma proteins, since homologous proteins of different species frequently share antigenic determinants. of this antiserum has not been tested in detail.

Characteristics: Precipitating polyclonal rabbit antiserum to human beta-2 microglobulin

Purification: Adsorption: Immunoaffinity adsorbed using insolubilized antigens as required, to eliminate antibodies reacting with other human serum proteins. The use of insolubilized adsorption antigens prevents the presence of excess adsorbent protein or immune complexes in the antiserum.

Immunogen: Beta-2 microglobulin is a member of the Immunoglobulin superfamily. The amino acid sequence resembles that of immunoglobulin constant domains. It is isolated from urine of patients with impaired readsorption in the kidney tubules. High levels of beta-2 microglobulin are as present in cord blood serum and foetal serum. The host animal is immunised with highly purified beta-2 microglobulin. Freund’s complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.

Isotype: IgG

Application Details

Application Notes: In precipitating techniques as immunoelectrophoresis, single and double radial immunodiffusion (Mancini, Ouchterlony) to identify the presence of beta-2 microglobulin and to determine its concentration. The presence of non-precipitating antibodies has not been assayed. It does not exclude the use of the antiserum in non-precipitating techniques if proper controls are included.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Format: Lyophilized

Concentration: Total protein and IgG concentrations in the antiserum are comparable to those of pooled normal rabbit serum. No foreign proteins added. Antibody titre: Precipitin titre not less than 1:32 when tested against appropriate serially diluted antigens in agar-b

Buffer: Delipidated, heat inactivated, lyophilized, stable whole serum.

Preservative: Without preservative

Storage: 4 °C/-20 °C

Storage Comment: The lyophilized antiserum is shipped at ambient temperature and may be stored at +4°C, prolonged storage at or below -20°C. Reconstitute the lyophilized antiserum by add ing 1 ml sterile distilled water. Dilutions may be prepared by adding phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2). Repeated thawing and freezing should be avoided. If a slight precipitation occurs upon storage, this should be removed by centrifugation. It will not affect the performance of the antiserum. Diluted antiserum should be stored at +4°C, not ref rozen, and preferably used the same day.

Target Details for beta-2 Microglobulin

Target: beta-2 Microglobulin (B2M) (beta-2-Microglobulin (B2M))

Alternative Name: beta-2 Microglobulin

Background: The defined antibody reactivity is restricted to beta-2 microglobulin as tested at the level of sensitivity of immuno-precipitation techniques. A single precipitin line is obtained with foetal serum, colostrum and selected pathological plasma and urine containing high levels of beta-2 microglobulin in bidimensional electrophoresis, immunoelectrophoresis and double radial immunodiffusion (Ouchterlony) which shows a reaction of full identity with the purified immunogen
