General description
CF647 F(ab′)2 fragment of goat anti-mouse IgG is affinity-purified F(ab′)2 fragment of goat anti-mouse IgG labeled with a red fluorescent dye CF647, one of an outstanding series of CF dyes developed by Biotium. CF dyes are superior to both Alexa Fluor dyes and Cy dyes for antibody labeling by having combined advantages in brightness, photostability, and specificity.
IgG (immunoglobulin G) antibody is abundantly present in mother′s milk and is secreted by B cells. IgG contributes to 10−20% of plasma protein and is regarded as one of the most predominant serum protein. It consists of four subclasses : IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4. The IgG structure possesses four polypeptide chains containing two identical γ heavy (H) chains and two identical κ or λ light (L) chains of 50kDa and 25kDa respectively. Limited digestion using papain cleaves the antibody into three fragments, two of which are identical and contain the antigen-binding activity. They are known as fragment antigen binding (Fab) fragments. These fragments contain the light chains paired with the VH and CH1 domains of the heavy chains. The variable region of IgG antibody is specific to antigens and is highly conserved.
Specificity
Binds with whole molecule rabbit IgG and the light chains of other rabbit immunoglobulins.
Immunogen
rabbit IgG (H+L)
Biochem/physiol Actions
IgG (immunoglobulin G) antibody provides protection against bacterial, fungal and viral infections. Maternal IgG is transferred to fetus through the placenta that is vital for the immune defense of the neonate against infections. IgG antibody has its function similar to IgM antibody in complement system activation. IgG is involved in hypersensitivity type II and type III. It helps in opsonization, complement fixation and cell-mediated cytotoxicity.
