Human IgG Isotype Control, Invitrogen™

Description

Concentration may vary slightly from lot-to-lot, see lot-specific datasheet for exact concentration. Purity/Antibody Specificity: The precipitin lines against goat anti-human whole serum are the same as those against goat anti-human IgG, Fc fragment specific when assayed by immunoelectrophoresis. No cross-reactivity was observed against goat anti-human IgM, Fc5-mu fragment specific or goat anti-human IgA, alpha chain specific. This antibody is recommended for use in blocking assays, immunohistochemical, immunocytochemical and immunofluorescent applications. Storage: After opening, dilute only enough antibody for a single day's use. The human source material used to make this antibody has been tested and found negative for Anti-HIV-1/HIV-2),HCV antibodies, HBsAg and ALT (SGPT). Country of Origin: USA

Human IgG, also known as human immunoglobulin G, is an antibody that is produced by the immune system in response to antigens. It is the most abundant immunoglobulin in the blood and plays a key role in defense against pathogens. IgG works by binding to specific antigens and promoting their clearance from the body through various mechanisms, including phagocytosis and complement activation. IgG is also involved in other immune responses, such as antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and neutralization of toxins. Human IgG can be used in research to study the immune response to pathogens and to develop diagnostic tests and therapeutic interventions for infectious and autoimmune diseases.
