Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
Flow cytometry: For flow cytometric detection of intracytoplasmic IgM, FITC anti-mouse IgM (clone II/41) (Cat. No. 553437) is recommended.
ELISA: For detection of mouse IgM by sandwich ELISA, this antibody may be used as the capture antibody at ~ 2 µg/ml coupled with biotin-conjugated rat anti-mouse IgM (clone R6-60.2) (Cat. No. 553406) and avidin-HRP (Cat. No. 554058) as the detection antibody. Purified mouse IgM (Cat. No. 553472) may be used as the ELISA standard.
Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- 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.
Companion Products
The II/41 clone has been reported to react specifically with mouse IgM of Igh-C[a] and Igh-C[b] haplotypes. It has been reported not to react with other Ig isotypes. In addition, the II/41 clone has been reported not to stimulate B-cell proliferation.
This antibody is routinely tested by ELISA and flow cytometric analysis. Other applications were tested at BD Biosciences Pharmingen during antibody development only or reported in the literature.
