Invitrogen™ Rabbit anti-Mouse IgG2b Recombinant Secondary Antibody

Description

The Rabbit anti-Mouse IgG2b Recombinant Secondary Antibody is specific to IgG2b region of Mouse IgG with minimum cross reactivity to Human IgG and Guinea Pig IgG. It showed no cross-reactivity to various species immunoglobulins tested. This recombinant antibody has been engineered with point mutations that eliminate binding to Fc receptors, enabling reduction in background and superior signal to noise. The sensitivity and specificity of each lot is confirmed using ELISA. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.

Anti-Mouse secondary antibodies are affinity-purified antibodies with well-characterized specificity for mouse immunoglobulins and are useful in the detection, sorting or purification of its specified target. Secondary antibodies offer increased versatility enabling users to use many detection systems (e.g. HRP, AP, fluorescence). They can also provide greater sensitivity through signal amplification as multiple secondary antibodies can bind to a single primary antibody. Most commonly, secondary antibodies are generated by immunizing the host animal with a pooled population of immunoglobulins from the target species and can be further purified and modified (i.e. immunoaffinity chromatography, antibody fragmentation, label conjugation, etc.) to generate highly specific reagents.
