FITC-Labeled Human IgG1 Kappa Isotype Control (FITC, mAb, carrier free)

A hapten is a small molecule that can elicit an immune response only when conjugated with a large carrier such as a protein. Typical haptens include drugs, urushiol, quinone, steroids, etc. Peptides and non-protein antigens usually need conjugating to a carrier protein (such as BSA (bovine serum albumin) or KLH (keyhole limpet hemocyanin) to become good immunogens) . Additionally, haptens should be administered with an adjuvant to ensure a high quality immune response. It is important that the hapten design (preserving greatly the chemical structure and spatial conformation of target compound), selection of the appropriate carrier protein and the conjugation method are key conditions for the desired specificity anti-hapten antibodies. We design anti-hapten antibodies based on the HaptenDB information.

This antibody is suitable for use as a non-targeting isotype control in various in vitro and in vivo studies. It can also be used as a negative control in various applications such as ELISA, Western blot, immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, immunoprecipitation, and flow cytometry. Each laboratory should determine an optimum working titer for use in its particular application.

-20°C to -70°C for 12 months in lyophilized state; -70°C for 12 months under sterile conditions after reconstitution. For long term storage, the product should be stored at lyophilized state at -20°C or lower. Please protect from light and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
