Background
The reactivity of the antiserum is directed to TRITC as tested in direct binding enzyme immunoassay, ELISA and immunoblotting. To enhance the specific signal obtained with a monoclonal antibody or a polyclonal second antibody conjugated to TRITC. The phenomenon of a weak reaction of a monoclonal antibody is e.g. well known in different analysis of vital peripheral blood mononuclear cells in suspensions by the expression of surface markers. A similar situation exists in solid phase assay systems (ELISA, blotting, DIBA) when used for the identification and /or quantitative determination of minute amounts of soluble specific antigens or antibodies. The sensitivity of the TRITC hapten-anti-hapten system makes it a valuable alternative to the biotin-avidin system. The optimum working dilution is an assay-related characteristic and should always be determined by titration. For histochemical use optimum dilutions are mostly from 1:10 to 1:40; in ELISA from 1:100 upwards; in Western blotting from 1:200 upwards. These data should be interpreted as general recommendations only.

Storage
The lyophilized product is shipped at ambient temperature and may be stored at +4°C; prolonged storage at or below -20°C. Dilutions may be prepared by adding phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2). Avoid repeated thawing and freezing. If a slight precipitation occurs upon storage, this should be removed by centrifugation and will not affect the performance of the product. Diluted ascites should be stored at +4°C, not refrozen, and preferably used the same day.
