Rabbit anti Sheep IgM (Fc specific)

Rabbit anti Sheep IgM (Fc specific)

• CAS Number: 9007-83-4
• Reactivity: The antiserum does not cross-react with any other component of the sheep Ig system, Interspecies cross reactivity is a normal feature of antibodies to immunoglobulins, since Ig of different species frequently share antigenic determinants. Cross-reactivity
• Storage Conditions: The lyophilized antiserum is shipped at ambient temperature and may be stored at +4°C; prolonged storage at or below -20°C. Reconstitute the lyophilized antiserum by adding 1 ml sterile distilled water. Dilutions may be prepared by adding phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2). Repeated thawing and freezing should be avoided. If a slight precipitation occurs upon storage, this should be removed by centrifugation. It will not affect the performance of the antiserum. Diluted antiserum should be stored at +4°C, not refrozen, and preferably used the same day.
  
  Packing:Vial with 1 mllyophilized antiserum.
  
  Lyophilized at +4 °C = at least 10 years
  reconstituted at or below -20 °C =3-5 years
  reconstituted at +4 °C = 7 days
  
  Caution: This antiserum should be handled by qualified persons only and appropriate precautions should be taken in its handling and disposal, and of all associated materials. For in vitro research purposes only.
• Specificity: The reactivity of the antiserum is restricted to the Fc part of the IgM molecule. In immunoelectrophoresis and radial immunodiffusion, using various antiserum concentrations against normal sheep serum a single precipitin line is obtained which shows a reaction of identity with the precipitin line obtained with purified IgM. No precipitation reaction is obtained with purified IgG, IgA. and IgG/Fab fragments.
• Short Name: [Rabbit anti Sheep IgM (Fc specific)]
