Rat IgG1 Isotype Control Antib

Aspects of Isotype Selection

The history of isotype selection for therapeutic antibodies clearly demonstrates that solid understanding of the biologic effects mediated by immunoglobulin (Ig) subclasses IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4 and their variants is a prerequisite

Isotype-specific immunostaining with mouse primary antibodies on mouse tissue

) Briefly, substitute your anti H+L pan-reactive secondary antibody with an anti-isotype heavy chain specific secondary. Be aware of possible odd crossreactivties (e.g. many goat anti mouse IgG 1 heavy chain do stain rat IgG 2a

Notes on Making Rat x Y3 Monoclonal Antibody Producing Hybridomas

Although Y3/Ag1.2.3 has its own myeloma light chain, their are numerous characteristics that make this a better parent line for making hybridomas than the 'Y0' chain loss variants or using NS0 to make rat x mouse hybrids. These are: a) Hybridomas
