Catalogue

Background
This monoclonal antibody to IgG1 is a negative control for Immunofluorescence staining with Pure, FITC, Biotin, PE and APC mouse monoclonal antibodies of the IgG1 subclass. It is used to monitor the level of non-specific binding of mouse monoclonal antibodies to human cell surface antigens.

Synonyms: IgG1

Product
Provided as solution in phosphate buffered saline with 0.08% sodium azide

Product Form: Unconjugated

Purification Method: Protein A/G Chromatography

Concentration: See vial for concentration

Applications
Consult the appropriate fact sheet to determine the amount of antibodies to be used as a control for PBMC or Whole Blood. PBMC: Add 10 µl of MAB/10^6 PBMC in100 µl PBS. Mix gently and incubate for 15 minutes at 2° to 8°C. Wash twice with PBS and analyze. WHOLE BLOOD: Add10 µl of MAB/100 µl of Whole Blood. Mix gently and incubate for 15 minutes at room temperature 20°C. Lyse the whole blood. Wash once with PBS and analyze. See instrument manufacturer’s instructions for Lysed Whole Blood and Immunofluorescence analysis with a flow cytometer or microscope. ALLOPHYCOCYANIN: (APC) conjugates are analyzed in multi-color flow cytometry with instruments equipped with a second laser and proper filters. Laser excitation is at ?633 nm with a Helium Neon (HeNe) laser or a 600-640 nm (633nm) range for a Dye laser. Peak fluorescence emission is at 660 nm. RPE-Cy-5 +: Excites at 488nm and emits at 670nm. Store protected from light. Optimal concentration should be evaluated by serial dilutions.
