Monoclonal Anti-Bovine IgM antibody produced in mouse

Bovine IgMs are glycoprotein antibodies that regulate antigen binding during immunological responses. These antibodies have three isotypes, namely, IgMa, IgMb and IgMc. Structural restraints on movement enhance the complement-fixing functions of bovine IgMs . Monoclonal Anti-Bovine IgM antibody detects an epitope on the heavy chain of bovine IgM. The antibody reacts with bovine serum, but does not react with sera from human, baboon, marmoset, gibbon, rhesus, hamster, rabbit, goat, pig, dog, rat, turkey, chicken, or catfish. Furthermore, the product does not bind to native or reduced bovine light chains.

Monoclonal Anti-Bovine IgM (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from an immunized mouse. IgM is highly conserved antibody in vertebrates and is expressed early during immune response. It exists as pentamer and is secreted by peritoneal B cells.

Purified bovine IgM

Monoclonal Anti-Bovine IgM antibody is suitable for use in indirect ELISA (1:1,000), western blot, immunoprecipitation and ELISA.

IgM plays a key role in engulfing of the of apoptotic cells. A reduction in serum IgM levels leads to increased autoimmune response and higher risk for infections. IgM displays polyreactive and autoreactive functionality. It plays a key role in tissue homeostasis by mediating clearance of tissue based molecules.
