Product Name :
Sheep anti Mouse IgG2a (1a allotype specific), conjugated with Biotin
Description :
| Clone Polyclonal | Units 1 ml | Host Sheep
Background :
Highly purified normal homogenous IgG2a(1a) isolated from mouse serum. Freund’s complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.
Source :
The reactivity of the antiserum is restricted to the Fc portion of the IgG2a molecule. In immunoelectrophoresis and radial immunodiffusion, using various antiserum concentrations against mouse serum of the allelic type Igh-1a, including Balb/C, CBA AKR and NZB, a single characteristic precipitin line is obtained which shows a reaction of identity with the precipitin line obtained with purified IgG2a(1a). No precipitation reaction is obtained with purified IgG2a(1b) (C57Bl and SJL/J), other IgG subclasses, IgA, IgM, IgG/Fab fragments or other serum proteins. In immunocytochemical and immunohistochemical staining for the detection of IgG2a(1a) at the cellular and subcellular level. In non-isotopic assay methodology (e.g. ELISA) to identify and measure IgG2a(1a) in mouse serum or other body fluids. As a second step an avidin or streptavidin conjugate of the user’s choice has to be used. This immunoconjugate is not pre-diluted. The optimum working dilution of each conjugate should be established by titration before being used. Excess labelled antibody must be avoided because it may cause high unspecific background staining and interfere with the specific signal. <
Product :
Biotin-coupled purified hyperimmune IgG fraction, lyophilized from a solution in phosphate buffered saline (pH7.2). No preservative added, as it may interfere with the antibody activity. It is reconstituted by adding 1 ml sterile distilled water, spun down to remove insoluble particles, divided into small aliquots, frozen and stored at or below -20°C. Product Form: Biotin Formulation: Biotin-coupled purified hyperimmune IgG fraction, lyophilized from a solution in phosphate buffered saline (pH7.2). No preservative added, as it may interfere with the antibody activity.
Specificity :
Biotin-conjugated IgG fraction of polyclonal Sheep antiSerum to Mouse IgG2a(1a), allotype specific. Species Reactivity: The antiSerum does not cross-react with any other component of the Mouse Ig system. Inter-species crossreactivity is a normal feature of antibodies to immunoglobulins, since Ig of different species frequently share antigenic determinants. Cross-reactivity of this antiSerum has not been tested in detail; expected chance of cross-reactivity will be small.
Applications :
ELISA,Immunocytochemistry,Immunohistochemistry (paraffin),Dot blot,Immunoblotting.
Storage :
The lyophilized immunoconjugate is shipped at ambient temperature and may be stored at +4°C; prolonged storage at or below -20°C. Prior to use, an aliquot is thawed slowly in the dark at ambient temperature, spun down again and used to prepare working dilutions by adding sterile phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2). Repeated thawing and freezing should be avoided. Working dilutions should be stored at +4°C, not refrozen, and preferably used the same day. If a slight precipitation occurs upon storage, this should be removed by centrifugation. It will not affect the performance of the product.

DM4 Antibody (YA3387): Ravtansine (DM4) is a maytansinoid, a chemical derivative of maytansine being investigated as the cytotoxic payload of a number of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). Microtubules are dynamic cytoskeletal polymers that switch stochastically between states of growing and shortening, called “dynamic instability”. They function in the precise segregation of chromosomes during cell division, transport of cellular cargos, and positioning and movement of intracellular organelles. Inhibition of microtubule function leads to cell cycle arrest and cell death. Microtubule-targeted drugs including the Vinca alkaloids, taxanes, and epothilones suppress the dynamic instability of microtubules, induce mitotic arrest, inhibit cell proliferation and induce apoptosis. The anticancer properties of maytansinoids have been attributed to their ability to disrupt microtubule function. The maytansinoid emtansine (DM1), for example, binds at the ends of microtubules and thereby suppress their dynamic instability. It is synthesized in order to link maytansinoids to antibodies via disulfide bonds. Maytansinoids inhibit tubulin polymerization and microtubule assembly and enhance microtubule destabilization, so there is potent suppression of microtubule dynamics resulting in a mitotic block and subsequent apoptotic cell death. DM4 can be used in the preparation of antibody drug conjugate. Although S-methyl DM1 and S-methyl DM4 inhibited microtubule assembly more weakly than maytansine, they suppressed dynamic instability more strongly than maytansine. Like vinblastine, the maytansinoids potently suppress microtubule dynamic instability by binding to a small number of high affinity sites, most likely at microtubule ends. Thus, the maytansine derivatives that result from cellular metabolism of the antibody conjugates are themselves potent microtubule poisons, interacting with microtubules as effectively as or more effectively than the parent molecule.
