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 a disulfide bond. 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._x000D_ Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is a glycoprotein antibody that regulates immune responses such as phagocytosis and is also involved in the development of autoimmune diseases. IgG1 regulates complement fixation in mice._x000D_ Mouse IgG is a plasma B cell derived antibody isotype defined by its heavy chain. IgG is the most abundant antibody isotype found in mouse serum. IgG crosses the placental barrier, is a complement activator and binds to the Fc-receptors on phagocytic cells. The level of IgG may vary with the status of disease or infection._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ Purified mouse IgG, Fc fragment_x000D_ Application_x000D_ Alkaline phosphatase-conjugated goat anti-mouse Fc specific antibody was used as a secondary antibody in ELISA assays at a dilution of 1:1000 in PBS/0.1% Tween and 1% BSA for 1.5 hours at 37°C. Antibody was developed using 4-nitrophenyl phosphate (Sigma) as a substrate for 30 minutes at 37°C._x000D_ Anti-Mouse IgG (Fc specific)-Alkaline Phosphatase antibody is suitable for use in ELISA (1:1500) and western blot. The antibody can also be used for immunohistochemistry (1:40 using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections)._x000D_ Anti-Mouse IgG (Fc specific)-Alkaline Phosphatase antibody produced in goat has been used in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), sandwich ELISA and enzyme-linked immune absorbent spot (ELISPOT)._x000D_ The product has been used as a secondary antibody for detecting mouse serum anti-hemagglutinin (HA) antibodies using ELISA techniques._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Solution in 0.05 M Tris, pH 8.0, containing 1% bovine serum albumin, 1 mM MgCl2 and 15 mM sodium azide._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_ Immunoglobulin G (IgG) participates in hypersensitivity type II and type III reactions. IgG helps in opsonization, complement fixation and antibody dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity._x000D_ Other Notes_x000D_ Antibody adsorbed with bovine, equine and human serum proteins._x000D_ Preparation Note_x000D_ Adsorbed to reduce background staining with bovine, horse, or human samples.
