Anti-Mouse IgG (H+L) F(ab')2 Fragment antibody was conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 488 fluorescent dye under optimal conditions and formulated at 2 mg/ml. This F(ab')2 fragment product results in less non-specific binding, as it lacks the Fc domain that can bind to the cells with Fc receptors.
Product Usage Information
The optimal dilution of the anti-species antibody should be determined for each primary antibody by titration. However, a final dilution of 1:500 – 1:2000 should yield acceptable results for immunofluorescent and flow cytometry assays.
Storage
Supplied in 0.1 M sodium phosphate, 0.1 M sodium chloride, pH 7.5, 5 mM sodium azide. Store at 4°C. Do not aliquot the antibody. Protect from light. Do not freeze.
Specificity / Sensitivity
F(ab')2 fragments are prepared from goat antibodies that have been adsorbed against human IgG and human serum. Cross reactivity with rat primary antibodies has been observed.
Species Reactivity:
Mouse
Background
This product has been optimized for use as a secondary antibody in immunofluorescent applications. Fluorescent anti-species IgG conjugates are ideal for flow cytometry and immunofluorescence. Cell Signaling Technology’s strict quality control procedures assure that each conjugate provides optimal specificity and fluorescence.
