General description

Monoclonal Anti-Human Kappa Light Chain (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from an immunized mouse. Immunoglobulins G are made up of two identical light chains and two identical heavy chains, that are covalently connected by interchain disulphide bonds. Genes of kappa and lambda constant region are mapped on to human chromosome 2.

Specificity

The antibody is specific for human kappa (κ) light chains. This antibody is reactive with intact IgG (κ), IgM (κ), free kappa light chains, and Bence-Jones kappa light chains. It is non-reactive with lambda light chains.

Application

Monoclonal Anti-Human Kappa Light Chain (Bound and Free) antibody produced in mouse has been used for:
  • immunodetection
  • in western blot analysis
  • in intracellular kappa light chain staining for flow cytometric analysis

Physical form

Monoclonal Anti-Human Kappa Light Chain (Bound and Free) antibody produced in mouse is provided as ascites fluid with 0.1% sodium azide (see MSDS) as a preservative.

Storage and Stability

For continuous use, store at 2-8 °C. For extendedstorage, the solution may be frozen in working aliquots. Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Storage in "frost-free" freezers is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use.

Rodent monoclonal antibodies with specificity towards important biological targets are developed for therapeutic use by a process of humanisation. This process involves the creation of molecules, which retain the specificity of the rodent antibody but contain predominantly human coding sequence.
