Description General description Human IgGs are glycoprotein antibodies that contain two equivalent light chains and a pair of identical heavy chains. IgGs have four distinct isoforms, ranging from IgG1 to IgG4. These antibodies regulate immunological responses to allergy and pathogenic infections. IgGs have also been implicated in complement fixation and autoimmune disorders. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) belongs to the immunoglobulin family and is a widely expressed serum antibody. IgG is usually found as a monomer. IgG antibody subtype is the most abundant of serum immunoglobulins of the immune system. About 70 percent of the total immunoglobulin consists of IgG. Specificity Rabbit Anti-Human IgG (whole molecule)-Peroxidase antibody binds to human IgG. Immunogen purified human IgG Application Anti-Human IgG (whole molecule)-Peroxidase antibody produced in rabbit has been used in: enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) western blotting microarray analysis Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.
