Goat anti-Human IgG Fab, Superclonal™ Recombinant Secondary Antibody, Invitrogen™

Descripción

This Goat-anti-Human IgG Fab, Superclonal™ Recombinant Secondary Antibody detects human IgG Fab with specificity to the light chains kappa and lambda as well as the heavy chain CH1. This antibody does not detect the Fc and does not cross-react with immunoglobulins from other species. Recombinant antibodies are produced using specific genes that code for the desired antibodies. These genes are cloned into an expression vector and expressed in vitro. The advantages of recombinant antibodies include better specificity, animal origin-free formulation, and lot-to-lot consistency. Superclonal™ Recombinant antibodies are a defined pool of recombinant monoclonal antibodies, manufactured by selecting and pooling individual clones to provide complementary, specific, and optimal epitope coverage to achieve enhanced performance. The sensitivity and specificity of each lot is confirmed using ELISA. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.

Anti-Human secondary antibodies are affinity-purified antibodies with well-characterized specificity for human 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.
