Anti-Sheep IgG (Fc specific) antibody produced in rabbit

Antibody format: IgG

Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is a member of the immunoglobulin family and consists of a γ heavy chain in the constant (C) region. The monomeric 150kDa structure of IgG constitutes two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains with molecular weight of 50kDa and 25kDa, respectively. IgG is further subdivided into four classes namely, IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4 with different heavy chains, named γ1, γ2, γ3, and γ4, respectively. Limited digestion using papain cleaves the antibody into three fragments, two of which are identical and contain the antigen-binding activity. The third fragment does not possess antigen-binding activity and is known as fragment crystallizable (Fc). It interacts with cells and effector molecules. The Fc fragment contains the CH2 and CH3 domains of the antibody molecule. Maternal IgG is the only antibody transported across the placenta to the fetus. It passively immunizes the infants.

Sheep IgG F(c) fragment

This product was prepared from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography using Sheep IgG coupled to agarose beads. Assay by immunoelectrophoresis resulted in a single precipitin arc against Anti-Rabbit Serum, Sheep IgG, Sheep IgG F(c) and Sheep Serum. No reaction was observed against Sheep IgG F(ab′)2.

Supplied in 0.02 M Potassium Phosphate, 0.15 M Sodium Chloride, pH 7.2
