Invitrogen™ Rat IgG2b Uncoated ELISA Kit

Description

The Rat Immunoglobulin 2b (Rt IgG2b) Uncoated ELISA Kit contains pre-matched antibody pairs and reagents for performing quantitative enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) to detect and quantify protein levels of rat IgG2b. Wash Buffer and Stop Solution are needed to complete the ELISA reaction and are sold separately. Principle of the method ELISAs are designed to measure the amount of the target bound between a matched antibody pair. A target-specific antibody is coated to the bottom of the wells of a microplate, which is an overnight process. Samples, standards, or controls are then added into these wells and bind to the immobilized (capture) antibody. A sandwich is formed by the addition of the second (detector) antibody, a substrate solution is added that reacts with the enzyme-antibody-target complex to produce measurable signal. The intensity of this signal is directly proportional to the concentration of target present in the original specimen.

Rat IgG2b is a protein-coding gene that encodes for the immunoglobulin G2b (IgG2b) subclass of rat antibodies. IgG2b is a major subclass of rat immunoglobulins that plays a crucial role in the immune response by neutralizing pathogens and promoting opsonization. Rat IgG2b is commonly used in research applications, such as in immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, and Western blotting.
