Preparation And Storage

Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated with biotin under optimum conditions, and unreacted biotin was removed.

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: This antibody, coupled with avidin-HRP (Cat.No. 554058), may be used at ~2 µg/ml as the detection antibody for the detection of mouse IgM by indirect ELISA. For the detection of mouse IgM by sandwich ELISA, purified rat anti-mouse IgM (clone II/41) (Cat. No. 553435) is recommended for capture coupled with  biotin-conjugated rat anti-mouse IgM (clone R6-60.2) (Cat. No. 553406) and avidin-HRP (Cat.No. 554058) for detection.  Purified mouse IgM (Cat.No. 553472) may be used as the ELISA standard for either the indirect or sandwich ELISA.

Product Notices

  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.

II/41

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.

Biotin
Biotin is a ubiquitous co-factor (also known as Vitamin B7) that has many properties that make it extremely useful for molecular biology. Biotin has an extremely high affinity for the Avidin family of proteins (Kd = 10-15 M), making it the perfect tool to link two molecules. Biotin labeled antibodies can be combined with any number of Avidin-conjugated probes in order to customize an assay to a particular need. This is especially useful in the case of magnetic cell separation using streptavidin/magnetic bead conjugates, or in the case of flow cytometry using streptavidin/fluorophore conjugates.
