Product is the lyophilized powder of goat IgG fraction to human albumin and buffer salts.
Preparation Method
The IgG fraction is prepared from the specific goat antiserum by delipidation, ammonium sulfate fractionation and anion exchange chromatography. The resulting IgG fraction is dialyzed into 0.02M sodium phosphate, 0.14M sodium chloride, pH 7.3, with 0.05% sodium azide, adjusted to standard titer, filtered through a 0.22 µm filter, vialed and lyophilized.
Applications
This product is suitable for use as a precipitating antibody. It gives sharp precipitin lines in immunoelectrophoresis and immunodiffusion techniques. This product is suitable for conjugation with enzymes, radiolabels, fluorochromes or other markers, and for attachment to solid supports for use as an immunoadsorbant. This product is suitable for use as a primary reagent in enzyme immunoassays, fluorescein immunoassays and blot, cell or tissue immunostaining. (Note: F(ab')2 fragments are recommended for staining of cells or tissues which contain Fc receptors).
Typical Working Concentration
The total protein is measured using the Biuret procedure, with bovine albumin as a standard. Antibody titer is standardized to an in-house standard by equivalence-point precipitation. Each IgG fraction is tested for purity and specificity at a minimum of 40 mg/mL using immunoelectrophoresis. The product is mostly goat IgG; no trace of albumin is detected.
