Goat anti-Chicken IgM Fc Secondary Antibody

Chicken

Dot Blot, ELISA, Immunoblotting, Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence, Western Blot

Unconjugated

Polyclonal Goat

LYOPH mg/ml

Purified IgM isolated from chicken serum. Freund's complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.

Inter-species cross-reactivity is a normal feature of antibodies to immunoglobulins, since Ig of different species frequently share antigenic determinants. Cross-reactivity of this conjugate has not been tested in detail.

The reactivity of the antiserum is directed to the Fc subunit of the IgM molecule which expresses strict isotypic (class) specificity. It does not react with any non-Ig protein in chicken serum, as tested by immunoelectrophoresis and double radial immunodiffusion.

The lyophilized IgG fraction is shipped at ambient temperature and may be stored at 4C; prolonged storage at or below -20C. Prior to use, an aliquot is thawed slowly at ambient temperature, spun down again and used to prepare working dilutions by adding sterile phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2). Repeated thawing and freezing should be avoided. Working dilutions should be stored at 4C, not refrozen, and preferably used the same day. If a slight precipitation occurs upon storage, this should be removed by centrifugation. It will not affect the performance of the product.

Ion exchange chromatography

Reconstitute by by adding 1 ml sterile distilled water, spun down to remove insoluble particles, divided into small aliquots, frozen and stored at or below -20C.

Lyophilized from PBS (pH 7.2)

No Preservative
