Antibody molecules typically comprise two immunoglobulin light chains covalently bound to a pair of heavy chains. Immunoglobulin light chains occur in two types, designated by the Greek letters kappa and lambda. Kappa and lambda light chains are approximately 250 amino acids in length with an average mass of about 25 kDa. The ratio of kappa to lambda found in the immunoglobulin population varies by species.

Reacts with human lambda light chains. Absorbed for human myeloma proteins with kappa light chains.

The antibody reacts with human lambda light chains as demonstrated by ELISA and flow cytometry.

Epitope: Ig lambda light chain

Prepared from pooled antisera from goats hyperimmunized with human myeloma proteins with lambda light chains.

Detect Human Ig λ chain using this Goat anti-Human Ig λ chain Antibody, biotin conjugate validated for use in ELISA.

ELISA: 1:5,000-1:20,000.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.
