General description

Monoclonal Anti-Human IgG2 (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from an immunized mouse. Human IgG consists of four subclasses.

Specificity

The antibody is specific for human IgG2 and is non-reactive with other IgG subclasses. This clone has been singled out as the most widely applicable IgG2 specific monoclonal antibody by the IUIS/WHO study.

Application

Monoclonal Anti-Human IgG2 antibody has been used in in enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and in western blotting.
It may also be used:

in imprint immunofixation
in immunofluorometric assay
in hemagglutination
in hemagglutination inhibition
in particle counting immunoassay
in detection of cytoplasmic IgG

Biochem/physiol Actions

Anti-polysaccharide responses are mainly of the IgG2 sub-class while protein antigens give rise to IgG1 and IgG3 antibodies. Lipopolysaccharides stimulate an IgG2 response in peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL′s).
