Specificity / Sensitivity
The purified antibody is not directed against any known antigen. It functions as an isotype control for rabbit antibodies.
Source / Purification
The antibody was isolated from naive rabbit sera and prepared by affinity chromotography. The antibody was conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 488 under optimal conditions with a F/P ratio of 2-6.
Flow Cytometry
Flow cytometric analysis of Jurkat cells, using Rabbit IgG Isotype Control (Alexa Fluor® 488 Conjugate) (red) compared to Phospho-Akt (Ser473) (193H12) Rabbit mAb (Alexa Fluor® 488 Conjugate) #2336, untreated (green) or LY294002 and wortmannin treated (blue).
Flow Cytometry
Flow cytometric analysis of Jurkat cells, using Rabbit IgG Isotype Control (Alexa Fluor® 488 Conjugate) (red) compared to Phospho-Stat3 (Tyr705) (D3A7) Rabbit mAb (Alexa Fluor® 488 Conjugate) #4323, untreated (blue) or IFN-α treated (green).
Description
Rabbit IgG was conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 488 fluorescent dye under optimal conditions and tested in-house for direct flow cytometric analysis of human and mouse cells.
Directions for Use
This control antibody must be diluted to the same concentration (not dilution) as the specific antibody used for analysis. Higher background fluorescence may result if excessive amounts of rabbit IgG isotype control are used. Do not use this antibody at a 1:50 dilution as recommended for other CST Alexa Fluor® conjugated antibodies.
Background
Isotype control antibodies are used to estimate the nonspecific binding of target primary antibodies due to Fc receptor binding or other protein-protein interactions. An isotype control antibody should have the same immunoglobulin type and be used at the same concentration as the test antibody.
