BD, 554680, BD Pharmingen™ PE Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control

Isotype: Mouse IgG1, κ
Application: Flow cytometry, Intracellular staining (flow cytometry), Isotype control (Routinely Tested)
Concentration: 0.2 mg/ml
RRID: AB_395506
Storage Buffer: Aqueous buffered solution containing ≤0.09% sodium azide.
Regulatory Status: RUO
Preparation And Storage: Preparation And Storage The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated with R-PE under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free PE were removed. Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.
Recommended Assay Procedures: Recommended Assay Procedures Immunofluorescent Staining and Flow Cytometric Analysis: The PE-MOPC-21 immunoglobulins (Cat. No. 554680) is a suitable mouse IgG1κ isotype control for assessing the level of background staining on paraformaldehyde fixed/saponin-permeabilized mouse or human cells for flow cytometric analysis. Use at comparable concentrations to antibody of interest (e.g., ≤ 0.5 µg mAb/1 million cells), (see image, right panel). For specific methodology, visit the protocols section of our website, or the chapter on intracellular staining in the Immune Function Handbook, which is posted on our web site at www.bdbiosciences.com. The intracellular cytokine staining technique and the use of blocking controls are described in detail by C. Prussin and D. Metcalfe.
Product Notices: Product Notices Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols. For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors. 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.
