Product Description
Based on immunoelectrophoresis, the antibody reacts with whole molecule mouse IgG. It also reacts with the light chains of other mouse immunoglobulins. No antibody was detected against non-immunoglobulin serum proteins. The antibody may cross-react with immunoglobulins from other species.
Physical State: Freeze-dried solid Storage: Store freeze-dried powder at 2-8°C. When ready to use, rehydrate with indicated volume of d. water and centrifuge if not clear. Product is stable for about 6 weeks at 2-8°C as an undiluted liquid. Prepare working dilution fresh each day. For extended storage after rehydration, aliquot and freeze undiluted product at -20°C or below. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Expiration date: one year from date of rehydration. However, the expiration date may be extended if the product is stored according to the recommendation and the test results are acceptable for its intended use.
Purity: The antibody was delipidated and ammonium sulfate fractionated from whole antiserum. Buffer: 0.01M Sodium Phosphate, 0.25M NaCl, pH 7.6 Preservative: 0.05% Sodium Azide

Versatile Applications in ResearchRabbit Anti-Mouse IgG (H+L) is essential in immunoassays such as ELISA, Western Blotting, Immunohistochemistry, and Immunofluorescence. Its broad reactivity to whole mouse IgG molecules enables accurate detection, and the unconjugated format allows for flexible secondary labeling. Optimal dilutions help tailor experiments to specific sensitivity needs.
FAQs of Rabbit Anti-Mouse IgG (H+L):
Q: How should Rabbit Anti-Mouse IgG (H+L) be stored to ensure stability?
A: To preserve stability and extend shelf life, this antibody should be stored at 20C or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, as they may compromise antibody performance and integrity.
Q: What are the recommended dilution ranges for different applications?
A: For ELISA, use a dilution of 1:1,000 to 1:20,000; for Western Blot, 1:500 to 1:5,000 is advised. Adjustments may be necessary depending on experimental requirements and sensitivity needs.
Q: When is it beneficial to use an unconjugated secondary antibody in experiments?
A: Unconjugated secondary antibodies are valuable when researchers require flexibility in subsequent detection methods or wish to incorporate their choice of conjugated secondary reagents, such as HRP, AP, or fluorophores.
Q: What is the process for using this antibody in immunoassays?
A: Dilute the antibody to the recommended concentration, depending on the assay, and use it as a secondary antibody to detect mouse IgG. Follow standard immunoassay protocols for blocking, incubation, washing, and detection steps.
Q: What benefits does the high purity (>98%) provide in research applications?
A: High purity reduces background noise and unwanted reactions, resulting in cleaner results and improved signal-to-noise ratio. This enhances the reliability and reproducibility of experimental data.
Q: Where can this antibody be sourced, and what is its typical form?
A: This research-grade antibody is available from distributors, importers, suppliers, and traders in the United States. It is supplied as a clear or slightly yellow, odorless liquid in a sterile filtered formulation.
