Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, Inc.'s Cy™3 AffiniPure™ F(ab')2 fragment Rabbit Anti-Human IgM, Fc5µ fragment specific is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody. The Cy™3 AffiniPure™ F(ab')2 fragment Rabbit Anti-Human IgM, Fc5µ fragment specific Antibody was generated using IgM as the antigen and it reacts with Homo Sapiens, and Human.
Description
Based on immunoelectrophoresis and/or ELISA, the antibody reacts with the Fc5mu portion of the human IgM heavy chain but not with human IgG, IgA, or the light chains of human immunoglobulins. No antibody was detected against non-immunoglobulin serum proteins. The antibody may cross-react with IgM from other species. F(ab')2 fragment antibodies are generated by pepsin digestion of whole IgG antibodies to remove most of the Fc region while leaving some of the hinge region. F(ab')2 fragments have two antigen-binding Fab portions linked together by disulfide bonds and therefore they are divalent. The average molecular weight is about 110 kDa. They are used for specific applications, such as to avoid binding of secondary antibodies to live cells with Fc receptors or to Protein A or Protein G
