Rabbit anti-Goat IgG (H+L) Secondary Antibody, TRITC, Invitrogen™

Description

Concentration may vary slightly from lot-to-lot, see lot-specific datasheet for exact concentration. Antibody Specificity: This antibody reacts with heavy chains on goat IgG as well as with the light chains common to most goat immunoglobulins, based on electrophoresis. No antibody was detected against non-immunoglobulin serum proteins. However, this antibody may cross-react with immunoglobulins from other species. Product # 31650 is recommended for use in Western blot, IF, ICC, IHC, IP and FACS applications. The suggested dilution range for most applications is 1:50-1:200. Fluorophore: Tetramethyl rhodamine 5 (and 6)-isothiocyanate (TRITC) Amax = 550 nm; Emax = 570 nm Fluorophore/Protein Ratio: A550/A280 = 0.50 Restoration and Storage: Store product at 4°C until opened. Restore with 1.1 mL distilled water. Centrifuge product if it is not completely clear after standing for 1-2 hours at room temperature. Product may be stored for up to several weeks at 4°C as an undiluted liquid. After dilution, do not use for more than one day. To extend the shelf-life of this product, add an equal volume of glycerol to make a final concentration of 50% glycerol and store at -20°C; or as an alternative, aliquot without glycerol and store at -80o or below, avoiding repeated freezing and thawing. Country of Origin: USA

Anti-Goat secondary antibodies are affinity-purified antibodies with well-characterized specificity for goat immunoglobulins and are useful in the detection, sorting or purification of its specified target. Secondary antibodies offer increased versatility enabling users to use many detection systems (e.g. HRP, AP, fluorescence). They can also provide greater sensitivity through signal amplification as multiple secondary antibodies can bind to a single primary antibody. Most commonly, secondary antibodies are generated by immunizing the host animal with a pooled population of immunoglobulins from the target species and can be further purified and modified (i.e. immunoaffinity chromatography, antibody fragmentation, label conjugation, etc.) to generate highly specific reagents.
