• Host: Rabbit
• Conjugate: Unconjugated
• Concentration: LYOPH

Rabbit anti-Goat IgM Fc Secondary Antibody Summary

• Immunogen: Purified normal IgM isolated from pooled goat serum. Freund's complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.
• Specificity: The reactivity of the antiserum is directed to the Fc subunit of the IgM molecule which expresses strict isotypic (class) specificity. It does not react with any non-Ig protein in goat serum, as tested by immunoelectrophoresis and double radial immunodiffusion.
• Clonality: Polyclonal
• Host: Rabbit
• Purity: Ion exchange chromatography

Applications/Dilutions

• Dilutions:
  • Dot Blot
  • ELISA
  • Western Blot
• Application Notes: Indirect immunofluorescence

Reactivity Notes

Inter-species cross-reactivity is a normal feature of antibodies to immunoglobulins, since Ig of different species frequently share antigenic determinants. Cross-reactivity of this antiserum has not been tested in detail, however a strong reaction with Sheep IgM has been observed.

Packaging, Storage & Formulations

• Storage: Store at 4C short term. Aliquot and store at -20C long term. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
• Buffer: Lyophilized from PBS (pH 7.2)
• Preservative: No Preservative
• Concentration: LYOPH
• Purity: Ion exchange chromatography
• Reconstitution Instructions: Reconstitute by by adding 1 ml sterile distilled water, spun down to remove insoluble particles, divided into small aliquots, frozen and stored at or below -20C.

Notes

The lyophilized IgG fraction is shipped at ambient temperature and may be stored at 4C; prolonged storage at or below -20C. Prior to use, an aliquot is thawed slowly at ambient temperature, spun down again and used to prepare working dilutions by adding sterile phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2). Repeated thawing and freezing should be avoided. Working dilutions should be stored at 4C, not refrozen, and preferably used the same day. If a slight precipitation occurs upon storage, this should be removed by centrifugation. It will not affect the performance of the product.
