General description
Immunoglobulin G (IgG) belongs to the immunoglobulin family and is a widely expressed serum antibody. An immunoglobulin has two heavy chains and two light chains connected by disulfide bond. It mainly helps in immune defense. It is a glycoprotein and a major class of immunoglobulin. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) participates in hypersensitivity type II and type III. Mouse consists of five immunoglobulin classes- IgM, IgG, IgA, IgD and IgE. Mouse IgG is further divided into five classes- IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b and IgG3. IgG helps in opsonization, complement fixation and antibody dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity.
This product is prepared by labeling high quality F(ab′)2 fragment of goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) with the far-red fluorescent dye CF640R. CF640R is a novel rhodamine-based dye spectrally very similar to Cy5 and Alexa Fluor 647. CF640R is much brighter than Cy5 and at least as bright as Alexa Fluor 647 when excited at 633 or 635 nm. However, the most important advantage of CF640R is its exceptional photostability. CF640R is far more photostable than the cyanine-based dyes Cy5 and Alexa Fluor 647. It is also more photostable than Atto 647N, a dye that has been extensively used in single molecule-based imaging. CF640R is also extremely water-soluble and pH-insensitive. These properties make CF640R a much better alternative to Cy5, Alexa Fluor 647 and other spectrally similar dyes.
