Goat anti Mouse IgD (Fc specific)

Purified hyperimmune goat IgG lyophilized from a solution in phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2). No preservative added, as it may interfere with the antibody activity. It is reconstituted by adding 1 ml sterile distilled water, spun down to remove insoluble particles, divided into small aliquots, frozen and stored at or below -20°C.

Background

The reactivity of the antiserum is directed to the Fc subunit of the IgD molecule which expresses strict isotypic (class) specificity. In immunoelectrophoresis and radial immunodiffusion, using various antiserum concentrations against serum of mice belonging to different allotypic groups, a single precipitin line is obtained which show a reaction of identity with the precipitin lines obtained with the purified IgD of BALB/C and C57BL origin used as immunogens. It does not react with IgG, including all subclasses, IgM and IgG/Fab or any non- Ig protein in mouse serum, as tested by immunoelectrophoresis and double radial immunodiffusion. The antiserum also reacts with membrane-bound IgD in peripheral blood cells of different mouse strains as tested by immunofluorescence microscopy. As unlabelled primary or secondary reagent for indirect detection techniques, to prepare conjugates with markers of the user’s own choice, to prepare an insoluble immunoaffinity adsorbent or a solid phase antibody reagent by coupling to an artificial carrier and as catching or detection antibody in non-isotopic methodology and solid phase immunochemistry.

When applied in any cytochemical or histochemical procedure or solids phase coupling technique, the optimum concentration of the IgG preparation should always be established by titration.
