Mouse anti-Human lambda Antibody

Catalog No. ABIN3026856

Quick Overview for Mouse anti-Human lambda Antibody (ABIN3026856)

Target: lambda

Clonality: Monoclonal

Application: Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p)), Western Blotting (WB)

Grade: Carrier-free

Clone: SPM559

Isotype: IgG2a, kappa

Product Details

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Purpose: Anti-Lambda Antibody (azide and preservative free)

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 IgG was used as the immunogen for this anti-Lambda antibody.

Application Details

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

1. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in pH 9 10 mM Tris with 1 mM EDTA for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes.
2. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Format: Liquid

Concentration: 1 mg/mL

Buffer: 1 mg/mL in 1X PBS, BSA free, sodium azide free

Preservative: Azide free

Storage: 4 °C,-20 °C

Storage Comment: Store the anti-Lambda antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
