Rat Pure-Blot anti-Mouse IgG (H+L) Secondary Antibody (eB144) [DyLight 680]

This antibody has been tested in ELISA, immunofluorescence, immunoprecipitation, and western blot and may also be used for detection in immunoassays that do not employ immunoprecipitation. This antibody is provided as a lyophilized powder. To conserve reagent, we recommend incubating the blots from minigels in sealed bags (removing as much air as possible) with minimal volume (2-3 mLs). If used conservatively at 2.5mls/blot will yield enough reagent for 40 blots. Note that there are three key procedural considerations: 1. Protein A or G beads may be used with the mouse, goat and sheep Pure-Blot secondaries, but not with the rabbit Pure-Blot secondary. Use of protein A or G beads with the rabbit Pure-Blot will result in contaminating bands. 2. Immunoprecipitate should be completely reduced. 3. blocking buffer for Fluorescent Western Blotting should be used as the blocking protein for the immunoblot. Note: To achieve best results when detecting mouse IgG1 subtypes, we recommend performing a dot blot or titration to determine the optimal dilution factor for your desired application. All recommended dilutions for listed applications are intended as an initial recommendation, specific conditions for each protein and antibody combination should be specifically optimized by the end user.
