Esel F(ab’)2 anti-Meerschweinchen IgG (H+L)-APC, MinX Bo,Ck,Go,Ho,Hs,Hu,Ms,Rb,Rt,Sh

Based on immunoelectrophoresis and/or ELISA, the antibody reacts with whole molecule guinea pig IgG. It also reacts with the light chains of other mouse immunoglobulins. No antibody was detected against non immunoglobulin serum proteins. The antibody has been tested by ELISA and/or solid-phase adsorbed to ensure minimal cross-reaction with guinea pig, chicken, goat, Syrian hamster, horse, human, mouse, rabbit, rat, and sheep serum proteins, but it may cross-react with immunoglobulins from other species.

Conjugate

Allophycocyanin (APC) is among several kinds of light-harvesting phycobiliproteins found in red, blue-green, and cryptomonad algae. APC is isolated from the blue-green alga Spirulina, and is chemically cross-linked for stability. After phycobiliproteins are conjugated to secondary antibodies, there is little fluorescence quenching, which results in conjugates of high specific fluorescence compared with conventional fluorophore-antibody conjugates. APC can be excited by light over a wide range of the visible spectrum, is highly water soluble, has a relatively low isoelectric point, and lacks potentially sticky carbohydrates.

It should be noted that the relatively high molecular weight of APC may preclude its use in procedures requiring good penetration into cells and tissues. It is predominantly intended for surface labeling of cells for flow cytometry.
