The Rhodamine Red™-X (RRX) AffiniPure™ F(ab')2 fragment Rabbit Anti-Goat IgG, Fc fragment specific Antibody from Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, Inc. is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody to IgG. This antibody recognizes Goat antigen.
Description
Based on immunoelectrophoresis and/or ELISA, the antibody reacts with the Fc portion of goat IgG heavy chain but not with the Fab portion of goat immunoglobulins. No antibody was detected against non-immunoglobulin serum proteins. The antibody may cross-react with immunoglobulins 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
