Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
Immunocytochemistry: Purified Rat IgG2b, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 559478) is an immunoglobulin isotype control for rat IgG2b and can be used to determine the level of non-specific background staining in an indirect cytokine immunocytochemical assay. Purified Rat IgG2b, κ Isotype Control antibody should be utilized at the same concentration as the primary specific antibody and visualized under the same conditions via a three step staining procedure in combination with Biotin Goat Anti-Rat IgG (Cat. No. 559286) followed by Streptavidin HRP (Cat. No. 550946) and DAB substrate kit (Cat. No. 550880). Please see protocol for a detailed description of the immunocytochemical procedure at: www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources.
Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
- Please refer to http://regdocs.bd.com to access safety data sheets (SDS).
- Sodium azide is a reversible inhibitor of oxidative metabolism; therefore, antibody preparations containing this preservative agent must not be used in cell cultures nor injected into animals. Sodium azide may be removed by washing stained cells or plate-bound antibody or dialyzing soluble antibody in sodium azide-free buffer. Since endotoxin may also affect the results of functional studies, we recommend the NA/LE (No Azide/Low Endotoxin) antibody format, if available, for in vitro and in vivo use.

Companion Products
The A95-1 antibody has unknown specificity. Trinitrophenal (TNP), the immunogen, is a hapten that is not expressed on human, mouse, rat, or non-human primate cells. The A95-1 immunoglobulin was selected as an isotype control following screening for low background on a variety of mouse and human tissues.
