PEROXIDASE-CONJUGATED GOAT AFFINITY PURIFIED ANTIBODY TO RABBIT IGG (WHOLE MOLECULE)

The total protein is measured using the Biuret procedure with bovine albumin as standard. To ensure that the product titer falls within the required range, antibody titer is standardized by microtiter plate ELISA with rabbit IgG. The product is tested for purity and specificity at final concentration by immunoelectrophoresis. The antibody is goat IgG; no trace of albumin is detected.

Antibody and highly purified HRP (Rz>3.0) are conjugated under defined conditions to obtain optimally labeled product. Conjugated protein is purified by salt fractionation. The product is dialyzed into 0.02M sodium phosphate, 0.14M sodium chloride, pH 7.3, with 1% BSA, adjusted to standard titer, filtered through a 0.22 µm filter, vialed, and lyophilized. No preservative is added.

Peroxidase-conjugated goat affinity purified antibody to rabbit IgG (whole molecule) is suitable for use as a reagent in enzyme immunoassays (EIA), cell and tissue staining (for light microscopy), cell and tissue labeling (for electron microscopy), and blot immunostaining. Use of affinity purified antibodies is recommended to avoid non-specific binding from the inherent antibodies of host animals. Note: F(ab')2 fragments are recommended for staining of cells or tissues which contain Fc receptors.

Specificity of the Anti-Rabbit IgG-Peroxidase is determined by immunoelectrophoresis (IEP) using normal rabbit serum and rabbit IgG. The conjugate shows no reaction with human IgG by IEP. Identity and purity of the antibody is established by immunoelectrophoresis prior to conjugation. Electrophoresis of the antibody preparation followed by diffusion versus anti-goat IgG and anti-goat whole serum results in single arcs of precipitation.

Peroxidase-conjugated goat affinity purified antibody to rabbit IgG (whole molecule) is horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated goat affinity purified antibody to rabbit IgG (whole molecule) and buffer salts. Antiserum is produced in goat using purified rabbit IgG as the immunogen. Antibody is isolated from goat anti-rabbit IgG antiserum by immunospecific purification which removes essentially all goat serum proteins, including immunoglobulins, which do not specifically bind to rabbit IgG. The antibody preparation is solid phase adsorbed with human IgG to ensure minimal cross reactivity in tissue or cell preparations.

RECONSTITUTION: Reconstitute product with 2.0 mL of deionized or distilled water. Gentle swirling may be used to speed rehydration. Do not add sodium azide. Avoid vigorous shaking of the reconstituted material.
