BD Pharmingen™ Purified Mouse Anti-Rat IgG1

For the sandwich rat IgG1 ELISA, biotinylated mAb RG11/39.4 (Cat. No. 553890) is optimal for detection with purified anti-rat IgG1 mAb B46-2 (available by special order) for capture. RG11/39.4 antibody is effective for detection of cell-surface or intracellular Ig by immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis. For flow cytometric detection of intracytoplasmic IgG1, we recommend FITC-conjugated RG11/39.4 mAb (Cat. No. 553892). Since applications vary, each investigator must determine dilutions appropriate for individual use.

1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
2. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
3. 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.
4. 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.
