Application

Monoclonal Anti-Bovine IgG antibody has been used in indirect immunoperoxidase staining.

Monoclonal Anti-Bovine IgG antibody produced in mouse is suitable for ELISA at a working dilution of 1:20,000. It may be used for immunohistochemistry of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections at a dilution of 1:1000. Monoclonal Anti-Bovine IgG antibody produced in mouse was used as an isotype control in ChIP assay.

Biochem/physiol Actions

IgG antibody subtype is the most abundant of serum immunoglobulins of the immune system. It is secreted by B cells and is found in blood and extracellular fluids and provides protection from infections caused by bacteria, fungi and viruses. Maternal IgG is transferred to fetus through the placenta that is vital for immune defense of the neonate against infections.

General description

The antibody reacts with an epitope on both bovine IgG1 and IgG2 in their native form. The antibody shows no reaction with the epitope after denaturation and reduction. IgG (immunoglobulin G) contributes to 10–20% of plasma protein and is regarded as one of the most predominant serum protein. It consists of four subclasses: IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4. The IgG structure possesses four polypeptide chains containing two identical γ heavy (H) chains and two identical γ or γ light (L) chains of 50 kDa and 25 kDa, respectively.
