      Recommended Assay Procedures

      Biotin Rat Anti-Mouse IgG2a/2b may be used as a primary or secondary reagent in immunofluorescent staining. For flow cytometric detection of intracytoplasmic IgG2a/2b, we recommend FITC Rat Anti-Mouse IgG2a/2b (Cat. No. 553399). For immunohistochemical staining, we recommend the use of Biotin Rat Anti-Mouse IgG2a (Cat. No. 550332) or Biotin Rat Anti-Mouse IgG2b (Cat. No. 550333) in our special formulation for immunohistochemistry.

      Product Notices

      1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
      2. 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.
      3. For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
      4. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.

      R2-40

      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.

      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.
