Invitrogen™ Goat anti-Rat IgG Fc Superclonal™ Secondary Antibody

Description

Goat anti-Rat IgG Fc Superclonal™ Recombinant Secondary Antibody is specific to Fc fragment of Rat IgG. It can detect all subtypes of Rat IgG (Rat IgG1,2a,2b). It has <10% cross reactivity to Mouse IgG. It showed minimum to no cross-reactivity to various species immunoglobulins tested. Superclonal™ recombinant secondary antibodies are produced using a multifaceted clonal selection process that involves several phenotypic screens to ensure enhanced specificity, animal origin free formulation and lot-to-lot consistency. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.

Anti-Rat secondary antibodies are affinity-purified antibodies with well-characterized specificity for rat 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.
