Mouse IgG1 (Negative Control, clone ZX3)

Mouse IgG1 is a negative control for Immunofluorescence staining with FITC, Biotin, PE and APC mouse monoclonal antibodies of the IgG1 subclass. Monitoring the level of non-specific binding of mouse monoclonal antibodies to human cell surgace antigens can be done using this product.

PBMC: Add 10 µl of MAB/10^6 PBMC in100 µl PBS. Mix gently and incubate for 15 minutes at 2º to 8ºC. Wash twice with PBS and analyze. Whole blood: Add10 μl of MAB/100 μl of Whole Blood. Mix gently and 1/3incubate for 15 minutes at room temperature 20oC. Lyse the whole blood. Wash once with PBS and analyze. See instrument manufacturer’s instructions for Lysed Whole Blood and Immunofluorescence analysis with a flow cytometer or microscope. Allophycocyanin: (APC) conjugates are analyzed in multi-color flow cytometry with instruments equipped with a second laser and proper filters. Laser excitation is at 633 nm with a Helium Neon (HeNe) laser or a 600-640 nm (633nm) range for a Dye laser. Peak fluorescence emission is at 660 nm. RPE-Cy-5 +: Excites at 488nm and emits at 670nm. Store protected from light. Optimal concentration should be evaluated by serial dilutions.
