Clone | RG2a |
Isotype | IgG2a |
Purification | RAT IgG2a isotype control has been prepared from concentrated cell culture supernatant by immunoaffinity chromatography using protein G. In an Ouchterlony double diffusion assay the material is non-reactive with antisera to rat IgG1a, IgG1b, IgG3 , IgM , and IgA. Assay by immunoelectrophoresis resulted in a single precipitin arc against anti-Rat IgG and anti-Rat serum. Light and heavy chain composition has been confirmed. |
Alternative Name | IgG2a |
Research Area | Secondary Antibodies |
Application Notes |
Flow Cytometry Dilution: 1:1000-1:5000 Application Note: RAT IgG2a isotype control can be utilized as a control or standard reagent in Western Blotting, Flow Cytometry, and ELISA experiments where determination of sample isotype is important. Specific conditions should be optimized by user. Western Blot Dilution: User Optimized FLISA Dilution: User Optimized ELISA Dilution: User Optimized IF Microscopy Dilution: User Optimized |
Comment |
RAT IgG2a isotype control is used in flow cytometry, western blot and ELISA and differentiate between immunoglobulin classes and subclasses. Isotype controls allow for the genetic variations or differences in the constant regions of the heavy and light chains. In Rat there are six relevant heavy chain isotypes and two light chain isotypes: heavy chain α - IgA, γ - IgG 1, 2a, 2b, 2c and μ - IgM, light chain κ and λ. |
