Anti-FITC antibody, Mouse monoclonal, (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the FL-D6 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from a BALB/c mouse immunized with FITC (fluorescein isothiocyanate)-BSA conjugate. This antibody specifically recognizes both free and conjugated FITC.FITC (fluorescein isothiocyanate) is a fluorochrome dye that absorbs ultraviolet or blue light (with peak wavelength of approximately 495 nm) causing molecules to become excited and emit a visible yellow-green light (with peak wavelength of approximately 519 nm).
Synonyms: Anti-Fluorescein isothiocyanate
Storage: -20C
Application: Anti-FITC antibody, Mouse monoclonal may be used in:
•immunoblotting
•enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
•immunohistochemistry
Biochem Physiol Actions: FITC (fluorescein isothiocyanate) is a commonly used protein marker including antibodies in immunofluorescent techniques. Antibodies to FITC are used to identify FITC labeled proteins and as models to study the mechanism of antibody response to a well-defined hapten.
