Immunoglobulin M (IgM) (class specific) (clone NI 179) HRP, anti-human

Background:
The reactivity of the antiserum is restricted to an isotype specific determinant of the IgM molecule as tested in direct binding enzyme immunoassay, immunoblotting, immunoprecipitation and direct immunoperoxidase staining of cytoplasmic Ig. To identify the presence of IgM in human serum, other body fluids, cell and tissue substrates and to determine its concentration in techniques as ELISA, direct immunoperoxidase staining of cytoplasmic IgM, and immunoblotting. The optimum working dilution is an assay-related characteristic. It may vary widely and should always be determined by titration. For histochemical use optimum dilutions are mostly from 1:50 to 1:200; in ELISA from 1:250 upwards; in Western blotting from 1:500 upwards. These data should be interpreted as general recommendations only.

Clone: NI 179

Isotype: Mouse IgG1

Source: Highly purified monoclonal IgM isolated from pooled human serum

Reactivity: human. The anti-serum does not react with any other component of the human Ig system or any other human plasma protein as tested. This anti-serum has not been tested for cross-reactivity with other species.

Specificity: Peroxidase conjugated purified monoclonal Mouse antibody to Human IgM, subclass specific.

Form: Purified monoclonal mouse IgG1 kappa conjugated with horseradish peroxidase, lyophilized from a solution in phosphate buffered saline (pH7.2). No preservative added, as it may interfere with the antibody activity. No foreign protein added.

Applications: ELISA, Immunocytochemistry, Immunohistochemistry (paraffin), Dot blot, Immunoblotting

Storage: Store at 4C, or in small aliquots at -20C.
