Based on immunoelectrophoresis and/or ELISA, the antibody reacts with whole molecule rabbit IgG. It also reacts with the light chains of other rabbit immunoglobulins. No antibody was detected against non-immunoglobulin serum proteins. The antibody has been tested by ELISA and/or solid-phase adsorbed to ensure minimal cross-reaction with bovine, chicken, goat, guinea pig, syrian hamster, horse, human, mouse, rat and sheep serum proteins, but it may cross-react with immunoglobulins from other species.
Whole IgG antibodies are isolated as intact molecules from antisera by immunoaffinity chromatography. They have an Fc portion and two antigen binding Fab portions joined together by disulfide bonds and therefore they are divalent. The average molecular weight is reported to be about 160 kDa. The whole IgG form of antibodies is suitable for the majority of immunodetection procedures and is the most cost effective.
Alexa Fluor? 647
Amax:651 Emax:667nm
Alexa Fluor? 647-conjugated antibodies absorb light maximally around 651 nm and fluoresce maximally around 667 nm. They are brighter than Cy5 and DyLight 650 in aqueous mounting media. Alexa Fluor? 647- and APC-conjugated secondary antibodies are the best choice for flow cytometry when secondary antibodies fluorescing at these wavelengths are desired. Alexa Fluor? 647 conjugates are the best choice of far red-emitting dyes for multiple-labeling detection with a confocal microscope.
A significant advantage of using Alexa Fluor? 647 over lower wavelength-emitting dyes is the low autofluorescence of biological specimens in this region of the spectrum. However, because of its peak emission at 667 nm, Alexa Fluor? 647 cannot be seen well by eye, and it cannot be excited optimally with a mercury lamp. Therefore, Alexa Fluor? 647 is not recommended for use with conventional epifluorescent microscopes. It is most commonly visualized with a confocal microscope equipped with an appropriate laser for excitation and a far-red detector. Alexa Fluor? 647 conjugates are less expensive alternatives to allophycocyanin conjugates for flow cytometry.
Physical State:Freeze-dried solid
Storage and Rehydration:Store freeze-dried solid at 2-8°C. Rehydrate with the indicated volume of dH2O and centrifuge if not clear. Prepare working dilution on day of use. Product is stable for about 6 weeks at 2-8°C as an undiluted liquid.Extended Storage after Rehydration:Aliquot and freeze at -70°C or below. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Alternatively, add an equal volume of glycerol (ACS grade or better) for a final concentration of 50%, and store at -20°C as a liquid.Expiration date:one year from date of rehydration. The expiration date may be extended if test results are acceptable for the intended use.
Purity:The antibody was purified from antisera by immunoaffinity chromatography using antigens coupled to agarose beads.Buffer:0.01M Sodium Phosphate, 0.25M NaCl, pH 7.6Stabilizer:15 mg/ml Bovine Serum Albumin (IgG-Free, Protease-Free)Preservative:0.05% Sodium AzideSuggested Working Concentration or Dilution Range:
1:100 - 1:800 for most applications
Dilution factors are presented in the form of a range because the optimal dilution is a function of many factors, such as antigen density, permeability, etc. The actual dilution used must be determined empirically.
