Uses
The mouse monoclonal anti-Rabbit IgG (heavy chain-specific) peroxidase conjugated antibody can be used as a secondary antibody for western blot analysis of protein preps from
E. coli cultures at a concentration of 1:10000 diluted in PBSt for 1 hour at room temperature.
General Description
Monoclonal Anti-Rabbit Immunoglobulins (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the RG-16 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from mice immunized with rabbit IgG. Immunoglobulins (Igs) belongs to the immunoglobulin super-family. There are five different types of Immunoglobulins. Each immunoglobulin has two heavy (H) and two light (L) chains held together by disulfide linkages. Each light comprises one variable N-terminal region and a constant C-terminal region. Heavy chain has one variable N-terminal region and three or four constant (CH1-CH4) C-terminal region. IgG is abundant immunoglobulin in human serum. The four classes of IgG can be IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4.
Biochem/physiol Actions
IgG antibody subtype is the most abundant of serum immunoglobulins of the immune system. It is secreted by B cells and is found in blood and extracellular fluids and provides protection from infections caused by bacteria, fungi and viruses. Maternal IgG is transferred to fetus through the placenta that is vital for immune defense of the neonate against infections. IgA antibody is secretory antibody and is present abundantly in mucous linings of gastrointestinal, respiratory and genitourinary tracts, tears and saliva. IgM antibodies are present as pentamers in the serum and are produced in response to antigens.
