Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Whole antiserum is fractionated and then further purified by ion exchange chromatography to provide the IgG fraction of antiserum. This fraction is essentially free of other rabbit serum proteins. Antiserum is determined to be immunospecific for sheep IgG by immunoelectrophoresis (IEP) versus sheep IgG and normal sheep serum. Identity and purity of the antibody is established by immunoelectrophoresis (IEP). Electrophoresis of the product followed by diffusion versus the anti-rabbit IgG and the anti-rabbit whole serum result in single arcs of precipitation in the γ region._x000D_ Specificity_x000D_ Binds all sheep Igs_x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ purified sheep IgG_x000D_ Application_x000D_ Anti-Sheep IgG (whole molecule) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in:_x000D_ • Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)_x000D_ • Immunoprecipitation_x000D_ • labelling electrodes in immunosensor systems_x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide as preservative._x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals._x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ Digestion of IgG by papain generates fragment antigen binding (Fab). Pepsin digestion of IgG results in fragment crystallisable (fc). IgG antibody has enormous therapeutic potential and the Fc is involved in the development of therapeutic antibody.
