Invitrogen™ Mouse anti-Rat IgG1 Secondary Antibody, FITC, eBioscience™

Description

Description: The R1-12D10 monoclonal antibody recognizes rat IgG1 antibodies and can be used as a second step reagent in flow cytometry and microscopy. The monoclonal does not recognize other rat isotypes nor does it crossreact to mouse IgG1. Applications Reported: This R1-12D10 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis, immunohistochemical staining, and immunocytochemistry. Applications Tested: This R1-12D10 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of cells stained with a rat IgG1 primary antibody and can be used at less than or equal to 0.5 μg per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 105 to 108 cells/test. This R1-12D10 antibody has also been tested by immunohistochemistry of human tissue stained with a rat IgG1 primary antibody and can be used at less than or equal to 10 μg/mL. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest. Excitation: 488 nm; Emission: 520 nm; Laser: Blue Laser. Filtration: 0.2 μm post-manufacturing filtered.

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.
