Catalog No. ABIN102682

Supplier Product No.: 610-4107

Quick Overview for Rabbit anti-Mouse IgM Antibody (ABIN102682)

Target: IgM

Clonality: Polyclonal

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

Isotype: IgG

Product Details

Reactivity: Mouse

Host: Rabbit

Supplier Product No.: 610-4107

Supplier: Rockland

Purpose: Mouse IgM (mu chain) Antibody

Cross-Reactivity (Details): Assay by immunoelectrophoresis resulted in a single precipitin arc against anti-Rabbit Serum, Mouse IgM and Mouse Serum.  No reaction was observed against other mouse heavy or light chain proteins.

Characteristics: Anti-Mouse IgG F(ab')2 Antibody generated in rabbit recognizes the dimeric Fab portion of the mouse IgG molecule. Mouse IgG F(ab')2 is a proteolytic fragment of immunoglobulin G (IgG) obtained by limited digestion with the enzyme pepsin under controlled conditions of temperature, time and pH . F(ab')2 Molecules lack the Fc portion of IgG and therefore receptors that bind mouse IgG F(c) will not bind mouse IgG F(ab')2 Molecules. Secondary Antibodies are available in a variety of formats and conjugate types. When choosing a secondary antibody product, consideration must be given to species and immunoglobulin specificity, conjugate type, fragment and chain specificity, level of cross-reactivity, and host-species source and fragment composition.

Purification: This product 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.

Sterility: Sterile filtered

Immunogen:

Immunogen: Mouse IgM whole molecule

Immunogen Type: Native Protein

Application Details

Application Notes: Application Note: Anti-Mouse IgM mu heavy chain antibody has been tested by ELISA and is suitable for use in immunoelectrophoresis, western-blot, competitive western-blot, ELISA and competitive ELISA assays. Specific conditions for reactivity and signal detection should be optimized by the end user.

Target Details

Target: IgM

Target Type: Antibody

Background: Immunoglobulin M is the largest antibody isotype and the first to be secreted against an initial exposure to antigen. IgM is predominantly produced in the spleen. Formed from covalently linking 5 immunoglobulins together, the approximate molecular weight of IgM is 900 kDa and possesses 10 binding sites (though due to the size of most antigens, not all sites are capable of binding at once). Due to this large size, IgM is typically isolated to the serum. Anti-Mouse IgM antibody is ideal for investigators in Immunology, Microbiology, and Cell Biology.
