Background
The reactivity of the antiserum is directed to both subclasses IgG2a and IgG2b. It reacts with determinants specific for IgG2a and IgG2b and iso and allospecific determinants. It does not react with other subclasses of IgG, IgG/Fab fragments, IgM and IgA or any non-Ig protein in mouse serum, as tested by immunoelectrophoresis and double radial immunodiffusion. In immunocytochemical and immunohistochemical single and double staining for the detection of IgG2 at the cellular and subcellular level by staining of appropriately treated cell and tissue substrates; as indicating second antibody conjugate to analyze or separate human cells after reacting with monoclonal mouse antibodies in immunofluorescence microscopy, fluorescence activated cell sorting and flow cytometry; to identify and measure IgG2 in mouse serum or other body fluids. This immunoconjugate is not pre-diluted. The optimum working dilution of each conjugate should be established by titration before being used. Excess labelled antibody must be avoided because it may cause high unspecific background staining and interfere with the specific signal.

Source
Pools of purified homogenous IgG2a and IgG2b isolated from mouse serum of strains belonging to the allelic types Igh-1a and Igh-1b. Freund’s complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.

Product
TRITC-coupled purified hyperimmune rabbit IgG lyophilized from a solution in phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2). No preservative added, as it may interfere with the antibody activity. It is reconstituted by adding 1 ml sterile distilled water, spun down to remove insoluble particles, divided into small aliquots, frozen and stored at or below -20°C.

Product Form: TRITC

Formulation: TRITC-coupled purified hyperimmune rabbit IgG lyophilized from a solution in phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2). No preservative added, as it may interfere with the antibody activity.

Specificity
Tetramethylrhodamine isothiocyanate-conjugated IgG fraction of polyclonal Rabbit antiSerum to Mouse IgG2, subclass specific

Species Reactivity: This immunoconjugate is not species-specific since inter-species cross-reactivity is a normal feature of antisera to immunoglobulins. Cross-reactivity of this product has not been tested in detail.

Applications
ELISA,Immunocytochemistry,Immunohistochemistry (frozen),(In)direct immunofluorescence.

Storage
The lyophilized conjugate is shipped at ambient temperature and may be stored at +4°C; prolonged storage at or below -20°C. 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 +4°C, 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 immunoconjugate.
