Recommended Assay Procedures: Recommended Assay Procedures For the sandwich mouse IgG2a ELISA, biotin-, AKP-, or HRP-conjugated R19-15 mAb (Cat. no. 553388, 553389, or 553391, respectively) is optimal for detection with purified anti-mouse IgG2a R11-89 mAb (Cat. no. 553446) for capture. This pair of anti-mouse IgG2a mAbs can effectively quantitate mouse IgG2a of these mouse Igh-C allotypes, in order of sensitivity from highest to lowest: e, a, j, and b . R19-15 antibody is effective for detection of cell-surface Ig by immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis. For flow cytometric detection of intracytoplasmic IgG2a, we recommend FITC-conjugated mAb R19-15 (Cat. no. 553390).
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. 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.
