Research Sub Category
Isotype Control Antibodies

The use of this antibody enables an estimation of non-specific binding of mouse monoclonal antibodies of isotype IgM to cell surface components in human blood and bone marrow. It is not suitable for use in immunohistochemical procedures.

SUGGESTED USAGE

The control antibody should be diluted to the same concentration as the test antibody, and equivalent volumes used. Flow cytometry and immunofluorescence - use 10 μl direct from the vial per 100 μl of whole blood, or 1 x 10E6 peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in 100 μl buffer.

This antibody reacts specifically with the outer membrane protein I component of various strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and does not react with any human cell surface component.

Format: Purified

Purified from mouse ascitic fluid. The antibody is supplied in 0.5ml 25mM Tris HCl, 0.4M NaCl, pH 8.0, containing 0.2% bovine serum albumin and 0.1% sodium azide. The characteristics of each lot are tested by electrophoresis, specific immunofluorescence assay and flow cytometry.

Store at 2 to 8°C, for up to 6 months. For prolonged periods, store below -20°C in undiluted aliquots. AVOID REPEATED FREEZE/THAW CYCLES.

WARNING: The monoclonal reagent solution contains 0.1% sodium azide as a preservative. Due to potential hazards arising from the build up of this material in pipes, spent reagent should be disposed of with liberal volumes of water.
