Application

Anti-Mouse IgG (Fc specific) antibody produced in goat has been used in:enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)flow cytometry immunoprecipitationimmunoblotting

Biochem/physiol Actions

Immunoglobulin G (IgG) participates in hypersensitivity type II and type III reactions. It mainly helps in immune defense. IgG helps in opsonization, complement fixation and antibody dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity.

IgG antibody plays a crucial role in humoral immune responses such as complement activation, phagocytosis, placental transport and cell surface-receptor binding. The antigen binding activity is mediated by the variable Fab region of IgG antibodies, whereas the effector activities are stimulated by the Fc domain. Anti-mouse IgG (Fc specific) antibody can be used to detect the optimal capture agents.

General description

Immunoglobulin G (IgG) belongs to the immunoglobulin family and is a widely expressed serum antibody. Immunoglobulins have two heavy chains and two light chains connected by a disulfide bond. It mainly helps in immune defense. It is a glycoprotein. IgG is a major class of immunoglobulin. Mouse consists of five immunoglobulin classes- IgM, IgG, IgA, IgD and IgE. Mouse IgG is further divided into five classes- IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b and IgG3. IgG helps in opsonization, complement fixation and antibody dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity.
