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 a disulfide bond. IgG is a major class of immunoglobulin. Immunoglobulin molecules of sheep are of the λ type.
Specificity
The antiserum is determined to be immunospecific for sheep IgG
Application
Anti-Sheep IgG (whole molecule) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in radioimmunoassay.
Biochem/physiol Actions
IgG antibody subtype is the most abundant of serum immunoglobulins of the immune system. It is secreted by B cells and is found in blood and extracellular fluids and provides protection from infections caused by bacteria, fungi and viruses. Maternal IgG is transferred to fetus through the placenta that is vital for immune defense of the neonate against infections.
Immunoglobulin G (IgG) participates in hypersensitivity type II and type III. It is a glycoprotein and mainly helps in immune defense.
Physical form
Supplied as a liquid containing 15 mM sodium azide as preservative.
Preparation Note
treated to remove lipoproteins
Storage and Stability
For continuous use, store at 2-8 °C for up to one month. For extended storage, the solution may be frozen in working aliquots. Repeated freezing and thawing, or storage in "frost-free" freezers, is notrecommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use.

Maternal immunoglobulin G (IgG), transferred across the placenta to the fetus during intrauterine life, is an important component of the neonatal immunological defence mechanisms against infection. There is controversy with respect to differences in placental transfer of the different IgG
