Invitrogen™ Goat anti-Rat IgG2b Recombinant Secondary Antibody

Description

Goat anti-Rat IgG2b, Recombinant Secondary Antibody specifically detects the Fc portion of rat IgG2b isotype and shows strong reactivity to total Rat IgG. It has minimal to no cross-reactivity towards other rat IgG isotypes and immunoglobulins tested from other species. 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.
