Product Details

Brand: BD Pharmingen™

Alternative Name: Igh-6b

Reactivity: Mouse (QC Testing)

Isotype: Mouse BALB/c IgG1, κ

Immunogen: C57BL/10 mouse splenocytes

Application: ELISA (Routinely Tested), Flow cytometry (Tested During Development)

Concentration: 0.5 mg/ml

RRID: AB_394900

Storage Buffer: Aqueous buffered solution containing ≤0.09% sodium azide.

Regulatory Status: RUO

Preparation And Storage

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. Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.

Recommended Assay Procedures

Biotin-conjugated AF6-78 mAb may be used as a primary or secondary reagent in immunofluorescent staining.

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.

Antibody Details

AF6-78

The AF6-78 antibody reacts specifically with mouse IgM of Igh-C[b] and related haplotypes (e.g., C57BL/6, C57BL/10, SJL, AKR, NZB). It does not react with IgM of Igh-C[a] or related haplotypes (e.g., BALB/c, C58, CBA, C3H/Bi, C3H/He, DBA/1, DBA/2, PL, RIII). Cross-reaction with IgM of Igh-C[e] haplotype (e.g., A/J) has been observed. AF6-78 antibody does not react with free µ heavy chain in vitro or in the cytoplasm of pre-B lymphocytes, which lack Ig light chain. It has not been shown to stimulate B-cell proliferation.

Format Details

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.
