Target: Rabbit
Host: Mouse
Antibody Format: IgG Fraction Monoclonal
Specificity: IgG, light chain specific
Minimal Cross Reactivity: Bovine, Goat, Armenian Hamster, Horse, Human, Mouse, Rat, Sheep ImmunoglobulinsConjugate: Horseradish Peroxidase
Product Category: Anti‑Light Chain-Specific Antibodies for Western Blotting after IP
Clonality: Monoclonal
RRID: AB_2339149
Storage and Rehydration: Store freeze-dried solid at 2-8°C. Rehydrate with the indicated volume of dH2O (see product specification sheet) and centrifuge if not clear. Prepare working dilution on day of use. Product is stable for about 6 weeks at 2-8°C as an undiluted liquid.
Extended Storage after Rehydration: Aliquot and freeze at -70°C or below. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Alternatively, add an equal volume of glycerol (ACS grade or better) for a final concentration of 50%, and store at -20°C as a liquid.
Expiration date: one year from date of rehydration. The expiration date may be extended if test results are acceptable for the intended use.
Stabilizer: 15 mg/ml Bovine Serum Albumin (IgG-Free, Protease-Free)
Preservative: None (Warning: Use of sodium azide as a preservative will substantially inhibit the enzyme activity of horseradish peroxidase.)
Suggested Working Concentration or Dilution Range:
1:500 - 1:5,000 for immunohisto/cytochemistry
1:5,000 - 1:100,000 for ELISA and Western blotting with chromogenic substrates
1:10,000 - 1:200,000 for Western blotting with ECL substrates
Dilution factors are presented in the form of a range because the optimal dilution is a function of many factors, such as antigen density, permeability, etc. The actual dilution used must be determined empirically.
Horseradish Peroxidase
Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) conjugates are prepared by a modified Nakane and Kawaoi procedure (J. Histochem. Cytochem. 1974. 22, 1084). Peroxidase conjugates are commonly used for immunohistochemistry, Western blotting, and ELISA. Affinity-purified anti-horseradish peroxidase and conjugates are available for detection of horseradish peroxidase antigen or for signal amplification of HRP-containing reagents. For immunostaining of mammalian cells, an advantage of using anti-horseradish peroxidase is reduced background, since the antibody does not recognize the endogenous peroxidase-like enzymes found in those cells.
