Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
Purified Rat Anti-Mouse IgG2a/2b may be used as a primary reagent in immunofluorescent staining. For flow cytometric detection of intracytoplasmic IgG2a/2b, we recommend FITC Rat Anti-Mouse IgG2a/2b (Cat. No. 553399).
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.
- 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.
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
The R2-40 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes a common epitope, probably located in the CH1 domain, shared by mouse IgG2a, and IgG2b, of Igh-Ca and Igh-Cb haplotypes. It does not react with other Ig isotypes.
