BD, 554006, BD Pharmingen™ Purified Mouse Anti-Armenian and Syrian Hamster IgG1

Isotype: Mouse BALB/c IgG2b, κ
Immunogen: Pooled Armenian hamster IgG mAb
Application: ELISA (Routinely Tested)
Concentration: 0.5 mg/ml
RRID: AB_395202
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. Store undiluted at 4°C.
Recommended Assay Procedures: Recommended Assay Procedures For the hamster IgG (group 1) sandwich ELISA, biotin-conjugated mAb G94-56 (Cat. No. 554007) is optimal for detection with purified anti-hamster IgG mAb HIG-632 (Cat. No. 550637) for capture.
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. 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. Although hamster immunoglobulin isotypes have not been well defined, BD Biosciences Pharmingen has grouped Armenian and Syrian hamster IgG monoclonal antibodies according to their reactivity with a panel of mouse anti-hamster IgG mAbs. A table of the hamster IgG groups, Reactivity of Mouse Anti-Hamster Ig mAbs, may be viewed at http://www.bdbiosciences.com/documents/hamster_chart_11x17.pdf. Sodium azide is a reversible inhibitor of oxidative metabolism; therefore, antibody preparations containing this preservative agent must not be used in cell cultures nor injected into animals. Sodium azide may be removed by washing stained cells or plate-bound antibody or dialyzing soluble antibody in sodium azide-free buffer. Since endotoxin may also affect the results of functional studies, we recommend the NA/LE (No Azide/Low Endotoxin) antibody format, if available, for in vitro and in vivo use.
