Uses
Anti-goat IgG antibody can be used in antisera localization for neurofilament antigens obtained in rat peripheral nerve and can be done in tissues of rat and human peripheral and central nervous system by the aid of indirect immunofluorescence.
General Description
IgG antibodies are smallest and are found in all body fluids and capable of fighting bacterial and viral infection. It is the only type of antibody able to cross the placenta and immunise the foetus. The anti-goat IgG (whole molecule)-FITC antibody is useful in indirect immunofluorescence studies of immunised goat sera infected Trichostrongylus colubriformis (nematode). Antigens can be measured by quantitative immunofluorescence using image analysis, in tissue sections stained with FITC labelled rabbit anti goat IgG. Anti-goat IgG antibody reacts specifically with all goat immunoglobulins.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Immunoglobulin G (IgG) participates in hypersensitivity type II and type III.
