Background

Anti-Rat IgM antibody generated in goat specifically detects rat IgM mu heavy chain. Immunoglobulin M is the largest antibody isotype and the first to be secreted against an initial exposure to antigen. IgM is predominantly produced in the spleen. Formed from covalently linking 5 immunoglobulins together, the approximate molecular weight of IgM is 900kDa and possesses 10 binding sites (though due to the size of most antigens, not all sites are capable of binding at once). Due to this large size, IgM is typically isolated to the serum. Anti-Rat IgM antibody is ideal for investigators in Immunology, Microbiology, and Cell Biology. This Rat IgM is conjugated to Alkaline phosphatase.

Target Details

Rat
Rat IgM whole molecule
This product was prepared from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography using Rat IgM coupled to agarose beads followed by solid phase adsorption(s) to remove any unwanted reactivities.   Assay by immunoelectrophoresis resulted in a single precipitin arc against anti-Alkaline Phosphatase (calf intestine), anti-Goat Serum, Rat IgM and Rat Serum.   No reaction was observed against other rat heavy or light chain proteins.

Application Details

Dot Blot, ELISA
Anti-Rat IgM Alkaline Phosphatase antibody has been tested by ELISA and dot blot and is assayed against 1.0 ug of Rat IgM in a standard capture ELISA using pNPP p-nitrophenyl phosphate code # NPP-10 as a substrate for 30 minutes at room temperature.  A working dilution of 1:500 to 1:2,000 is suggested for this product.
