Rat IgG2a isotype control Antibody

RAT IgG2a isotype control has been prepared from concentrated cell culture supernatant by immunoaffinity chromatography using protein G. Assay by immunoelectrophoresis resulted in a single precipitin arc against anti-Rat IgG and anti-Rat serum. Isotyping assay resulted non-reactive with antisera to Rat IgG1a, IgG1b, IgG3, IgM, and IgA. Light and heavy chain composition has been confirmed by SDS-PAGE.

Store vial at 4° C prior to opening. This product is stable 4° C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use. For extended storage mix with an equal volume of glycerol, aliquot contents and freeze at -20° C or below. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing.

RAT IgG2a isotype control has been tested in SDS-Page and can be utilized as a control or standard reagent in Western Blotting, Flow Cytometry, and ELISA experiments where determination of sample isotype is important. Specific conditions should be optimized by user.
