Mouse IgG1 Negative Control Antibody, clone 1E2.2

General description

Immunoglobulin G (IgG), is one of the most abundant proteins in human serum with normal levels between 8-17 mg/mL in adult blood. IgG is important for our defense against microorganisms and the molecules are produced by B lymphocytes as a part of our adaptive immune response. The IgG molecule has two separate functions; to bind to the pathogen that elicited the response and to recruit other cells and molecules to destroy the antigen. The variability of the IgG pool is generated by somatic recombination and the number of specificities in an individual at a given time point is estimated to be 1011 variants.

Specificity

This isotype control shows negligible cross-reactivity with human cell surface antigens on tissue sections or in cellular preparations. It therefore enables the estimation of non-specific binding of mouse monoclonals to cell surface antigens.

Application

Mouse IgG1 Negative Control Monoclonal Antibody validated for use in Flow Cytometry.
