Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, Inc.'s AffiniPure™ F(ab')2 fragment Goat Anti-Mouse IgM, µ chain specific (min X Hu, Bov, Hrs Sr Prot) is a Goat Polyclonal antibody. The AffiniPure™ F(ab')2 fragment Goat Anti-Mouse IgM, µ chain specific (min X Hu, Bov, Hrs Sr Prot) Antibody was generated using IgM as the antigen and it reacts with Mouse.
Description
Based on immunoelectrophoresis and/or ELISA, the antibody reacts with the heavy chain of mouse IgM but not with mouse IgG or the light chains of mouse immunoglobulins. No antibody was detected against non-immunoglobulin serum proteins. The antibody has been tested by ELISA and/or solid-phase adsorbed to ensure minimal cross-reaction with human, bovine and horse serum proteins, but it 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
