Invitrogen™ F(ab')2-Rabbit anti-Mouse IgG (H+L) Cross-Adsorbed Secondary Antibody, AP

Description

Cross reactivity is observed with rat IgG. Cross-reactivity with human IgG has been minimized by solid phase absorption. F(ab')2 fragments were prepared by pepsin digestion of the IgG followed by a gel filtration step to remove the remaining intact IgG or Fc fragments. Rabbit anti Mouse IgG antibody recognizes mouse IgG.Cross reactivity is observed with rat IgG. Cross-reactivity with human IgG has been minimised by solid phase absorption.

Anti-Mouse secondary antibodies are affinity-purified antibodies with well-characterized specificity for mouse immunoglobulins and are useful in the detection, sorting or purification of its specified target. Secondary antibodies offer increased versatility enabling users to use many detection systems (e.g. HRP, AP, fluorescence). They can also provide greater sensitivity through signal amplification as multiple secondary antibodies can bind to a single primary antibody. Most commonly, secondary antibodies are generated by immunizing the host animal with a pooled population of immunoglobulins from the target species and can be further purified and modified (i.e. immunoaffinity chromatography, antibody fragmentation, label conjugation, etc.) to generate highly specific reagents.
