General description

CF dye goat anti-mouse IgG isotype-specific secondary antibody conjugates are labeled with our exceptionally bright, photostable CF dyes. The conjugates are prepared from affinity-purified antibodies that react with Fc portion of the heavy chain of mouse IgG1, IgG2a, or IgG2b. To minimize cross reactivity, the antibodies are cross-adsorbed against other mouse IgG subclasses (IgG2a, IgG2b, IgG3), and human, bovine and rabbit serum proteins.
IgG2a (immunoglobulin G2a) belongs to the class of IgG. In mouse, IgG2a is the major serum antibody.

Specificity

Binds with the Fc portion of mouse IgG2a but not with other mouse IgG subclasses, mouse IgM, or the Fab portion of mouse immunoglobulins.

Immunogen

mouse IgG2a (H+L)

Biochem/physiol Actions

IgG2a (immunoglobulin G2a) is considered as an efficient antibody produced against viral and bacterial infections. IgG2a expression is induced by viral infection. IgG2a offers host defense through activation of complement system. This antibody has specificity towards Fc receptors expressed on phagocytes and stimulates antibody-dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity. IgG2a also induces macrophages mediated opsonophagocytosis, which has been observed in response to influenza virus and leads to its clearance from the infected cells.

Features and Benefits

Evaluate our antibodies with complete peace of mind. If the antibody does not perform in your application, we will issue a full credit or replacement antibody. Learn more.

Physical form

Supplied in phosphate buffered saline with 0.05% sodium azide, 50% glycerol and 0.2% BSA.

Preparation Note

Protect from light. The antibody solution should be gently mixed before use.
