Product Description

Description: The rat IgG2b, kappa monoclonal antibody is useful as an isotype control immunoglobulin. Applications Reported: Alexa Fluor® 488 Rat IgG2b Isotype Control has been reported for use in immunohistochemistry, immunocytochemistry, and flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: Alexa Fluor® 488 Rat IgG2b Isotype Control has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse splenocytes. Please use at the same concentration as the experimental antibody. Excitation: 488 nm; Emission: 519 nm; Laser: Blue Laser. Filtration: 0.2 µm post-manufacturing filtered. The isotype of a primary antibody and the application it is being used in can result in background staining. Primary antibody background noise can be caused by binding to Fc receptors on target cells; by non-specific interactions with cellular proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids; or by cell autofluorescence. Isotype control antibodies can act as negative controls to help differentiate non-specific background signal from specific antibody signal because they have no relevant specificity to a target antigen. While isotype controls are most commonly used in flow cytometry, they are useful in other applications such as chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), immunohistochemistry, and gel shifts. Isot
