Kaninchen anti-Human IgM (Chain mu) Antikörper

Produktnummer ABIN952869

Produktdetails

Target: IgM

Bindungsspezifität: Chain mu

Reaktivität: Human

Wirt: Kaninchen

Klonalität: Polyklonal

Applikation: Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p))

Produktmerkmale: Anti-IgM antibody reacts with surface immunoglobulin IgM mu chains. IgM is one of the predominant surface immunoglobulins on B-lymphocytes. This antibody is useful when identifying lymphomas, plasmacytomas, and B-cell lineage derived Hodgkin's lymphomas. Due to the restricted expression of heavy and light chains in these diseases, demonstration of B-cell lymphomas is possible with clonal gene rearrangement studies.

Aufreinigung: Purified

Immunogen: Purified IgM.

Anwendungsinformationen

Applikationshinweise: Optimal working dilutions should be determined experimentally by the investigator.

Beschränkungen: Nur für Forschungszwecke einsetzbar

Handhabung

Format: Liquid

Lagerung: 4 °C

Informationen zur Lagerung: Store the antibody undiluted at 2-8 °C.

Antigendetails

Target: IgM

Abstract: IgM Produkte

Substanzklasse: Antibody

Hintergrund: IgM normally constitutes about 10 % of serum immunoglobulins. IgM antibody is prominent in early immune responses to most antigens and is largely confined to plasma due to it's large size. Monomeric IgM is expressed as a membrane bound antibody on the surface of B cells and as a pentamer when secreted by plasma cells. Due to it's high valency IgM is more efficient than other isotypes is binding antigens with repeating epitopes (virus particles and red blood cells) and is more efficient than IgG in activiating the complement pathway. The gene for the mu constant region contains four domains separated by short intervening sequences. IgM measurement yields information about the body's immediate resistance and response to infection as well as information related to specific diseases. Decreased levels are associated with immune deficiency states, hereditary deficiencies, and myeloma. Increased levels can be associated with Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, chronic infection and hepatocellular disease.Synonyms: Human Immunoglobulin M
