Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Immunoglobulin G (IgG) belongs to the immunoglobulin family and is a widely expressed serum antibody. An immunoglobulin has two heavy chains and two light chains connected by disulfide bond. It mainly helps in immune defense. It is a glycoprotein. IgG is a major class of immunoglobulin. Mouse consists of five immunoglobulin classes- IgM, IgG, IgA, IgD and IgE. Mouse IgG is further divided into five classes- IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b and IgG3. IgG helps in opsonization, complement fixation and antibody dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity. IgA molecules in the serum are mostly dimeric. IgA is found in saliva, tracheobronchial secretions, genito urinary secretions, milk and colostrum. IgM is present on the surface of B lymphocytes in its monomeric form._x000D_ Specificity_x000D_ This product was prepared from polyspecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography using antigens coupled to agarose beads followed by solid phase adsorption(s) to remove any unwanted reactivities. Assay by immunoelectrophoresis resulted in a single precipitin arc against Anti-Goat Serum. No reaction was observed against Anti-Goat IgG F(c), Anti-Pepsin or Human Serum Proteins. This product is suitable for the detection of all Human immunoglobulin classes, isotypes and chain combinations._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ Mouse IgG IgA and IgM whole molecule_x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Supplied in 0.02 M Potassium Phosphate, 0.15 M Sodium Chloride, pH 7.2 with 10 mg/mL Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) - Immunoglobulin and Protease free_x000D_ Reconstitution_x000D_ Reconstitute with 1.0 mL deionized water (or equivalent)._x000D_ Legal Information_x000D_ Texas Red is a registered trademark of Life Technologies_x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ Immunoglobulin G (IgG) participates in hypersensitivity type II and type III.
