Invitrogen™ F(ab')2-Goat anti-Mouse IgM (Mu chain) Secondary Antibody

Description

Concentration may vary slightly from lot-to-lot, see lot-specific datasheet for exact concentration. Product # 31178 has been successfully used in Western blot, IF, ICC, IHC, IP and FACS applications. Product # 31178 reacts with the heavy chain portion of mouse IgM, but does not react against IgG or non-immunoglobulin serum proteins. However, this antibody may cross-react with IgM from other species. Store product at 4°C until opened. After opening, dilute only enough antibody for a single day's use. Store remainder at 4°C under sterile conditions. Country of Origin: USA.

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.
