Anti-Rat IgG (whole molecule)–FITC antibody produced in rabbit，1ML，F1763-1ML，Sigma

General description

Anti-Rat IgG (whole molecule) is produced in rabbit using purified rat IgG as the immunogen.
Rat IgG is a plasma B cell derived antibody isotype defined by its heavy chain. IgG is the most abundant antibody isotype found in rat serum. Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) is a fluorescein derivative (fluorochrome) used to tag antibodies, including secondary antibodies, for use in fluorescence-based assays and procedures. FITC excites at 495 nm and emits at 521 nm.
Rat IgGs have four subclasses, namely, IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b, and IgG2c. Rat IgGs against target proteins are often used as primary antibodies in various research applications. Anti-Rat IgG (whole molecule)-FITC antibody binds to all rat immunoglobulins.

Immunogen

Purified rat IgG

Application

Anti-Rat IgG (whole molecule)-FITC antibody has been used:

• in immunolabelling for confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM)
• in immunostaining

Biochem/physiol Actions

IgGs are glycoprotein antibodies that modulate several immune responses. IgG crosses the placental barrier, is a complement activator and binds to the Fc-receptors on phagocytic cells. The level of IgG may vary with the status of disease or infection. Thus, secondary anti-rat IgG is a useful tool for the analysis of target proteins.
Rabbit polyclonal anti-Rat IgG (whole molecule)−FITC antibody reacts with rat IgG in vitro, in rat serum and biological fluids.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

Preparation Note

Adsorbed to reduce background staining with human samples.

Other Notes

Antibody adsorbed with human IgG.
