Background
|
Secreted as part of the adaptive immune response by plasma B cells, mouse immunoglobulin G constitutes 75 % of serum immunoglobulins. Immunoglobulin G binds to viruses, bacteria, as well as fungi and facilitates their destruction or neutralization via agglutination (and thereby immobilizing them), activation of the compliment cascade, and opsinization for phagocytosis. IgG1 is the most abundant of the four IgG subclasses. This isotype control possesses lambda light chains.
Synonyms: Mouse immunoglobulin gamma lambda, Mouse IgG1 isotype control
