ANTI-RAT IGG (WHOLE MOLECULE)-FITC

The Uses of ANTI-RAT IGG (WHOLE MOLECULE)-FITC

Anti-Rat IgG (whole molecule)-FITC antibody may be used for immunofluorescent labeling of rat spleen cells. For immunofluorescence of rat cartilage tissue sections, a concentration of 5-10 μg/ml was used. The range of dilutions of anti-rat IgG used for immunofluorescence is between 1:10 and 1:250 in various studies.. The antibody was also used in flow cytometry applications.

General Description

Rat IgGs have four subclasses, namely, IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b, and IgG2c. Rat IgGs against target proteins are often used as primary antibodies in various research applications. Anti-Rat IgG (whole molecule)-FITC antibody binds to all rat immunoglobulins.

Biochem/physiol Actions

IgGs are glycoprotein antibodies that modulate several immune responses. IgG crosses the placental barrier, is a complement activator and binds to the Fc-receptors on phagocytic cells. The level of IgG may vary with the status of disease or infection. Thus, secondary anti-rat IgG is a useful tool for the analysis of target proteins.
