    Format/conjugation

    Pacific Blue

  • Specificity

    This mouse IgG2a monoclonal antibody (clone MOPC-173) reacts with an unknown epitope. It does not react with a variety of resting, activated, live, and fixed mouse, rat and human tissues.

    Research area

    Immunoglobulin Isotype Controls

    Concentration

    0.1 mg/ml

  • Storage buffer

    The reagent is provided in stabilizing phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution containing 15mM sodium azide.

    Shipping and storage

    Mouse Monoclonal IgG2a Isotype Control is shipped on blue ice or ice packs. Upon receipt store at 4 degrees Celcius. Do not freeze!

    Background

    The specificity of staining by monoclonal antibodies to target antigens should be verified by establishing the amount of non-specific antibody binding. Especially at higher concentration (more than 15 μg/ml) the antibody staining usually has consignable background. To this end a non-reactive immunoglobulin of the same isotype is included as a negative control for each specific monoclonal antibody used in a particular immunoassay. The monoclonal antibody MOPC-173, generated against an undefined antigen, does not react specifically with mouse, rat and human samples, and hence all the background that could be observed when working with this antibody would be a result of general nonspecific interactions between an mouse IgG2a molecule and the respective sample under the particular conditions. This shall help the customer to set up the experimental conditions so that the nonspecific binding of any antibody is abolished.

  • Description

    Isotype or positive controls by peptides, antibodies and deactivated samples.

    Additional isotype

    IgG2a

    Properties

    Immunoglobulin Isotype specific antibodies and controls are specific to the immunoglobulin heavy chains and immunoglobulin light chains. Mouse monoclonal antibodies from this clone have all the same affinity to the antigen. Also polyclonal antibodies are Isotype purified amd conjugated or if they are used as control non conjugated.

    Test

    Mouse or mice from the Mus musculus species are used for production of mouse monoclonal antibodies or mabs and as research model for humans in your lab. Mouse are mature after 40 days for females and 55 days for males. The female mice are pregnant only 20 days and can give birth to 10 litters of 6-8 mice a year. Transgenic, knock-out, congenic and inbread strains are known for C57BL/6, A/J, BALB/c, SCID while the CD-1 is outbred as strain.
