General description
Goat polyclonal Mouse IgG (Fc specific)–Peroxidase antibody is determined against normal mouse serum, mouse IgG (whole molecule), the Fc fragment of mouse IgG and the Fab fragment of mouse IgG, the conjugate is specific for mouse IgG and shows no reaction with the Fab fragment of mouse IgG. The conjugate only shows reactivity with mouse IgG (whole molecule) and the Fc fragment of mouse IgG, when tested in ELISA. The conjugate shows no reaction with the Fab fragment of mouse IgG, human IgG, IgA, IgM, or rat IgG in ELISA.
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.
Application
Anti-Mouse IgG (Fc specific)-Peroxidase antibody has been used:
- in immunoblotting
- in immunohistochemistry
- in enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
- in agar block precipitin titration
- in western blotting
- in assessment of in vitro poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase (PARP) activity
Indirect ELISA was performed on sera from mice immunized to SV40-Tag using HRP-conjugated goat anti-mouse Fc specific IgG. Antibody was used at a 1:1000 dilution for 30 minutes at 37 degrees.
Specificity of a new antibody for PND in blood from immunized mice was tested by Elisa using biotynlated PND and streptavidin coated plates. HRP conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (Fc specific) was used as secondary.
Biochem/physiol Actions
IgG antibodies help in neutralizing the effects caused by viruses and toxins.
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.
Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of chromogenic substrates such as o-phenylenediamine (OPD), 4-chloro-1-naphthol 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), 3,3′-Diaminobenzidine (DAB) or 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS); chemiluminescent substrates such as CPS-3 (enhanced luminal) and fluorogenic substrates such as Ampliflu™ Red into detectable chromophores, light-emitters or fluorescers, respectively.
Other Notes
Antibody adsorbed with human IgG and rat serum proteins.
Physical form
Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 0.05% MIT.
Preparation Note
Adsorbed to reduce background staining with human or rat samples.
Prepared by the two-step glutaraldehyde method described by Avrameas, S., et al., Scand. J. Immunol., 8, Suppl. 7, 7 (1978).
