Application

Conjugation of TRITC to Rabbit IgG (whole molecule) antibody enables the use in immunofluorescent techniques.

Anti-Rabbit IgG (whole molecule)−TRITC antibody produced in goat has been used in immunocytochemistry.

Biochem/physiol Actions

IgG antibody subtype is the most abundant of serum immunoglobulins of the immune system. It is secreted by B cells and is found in blood and extracellular fluids and provides protection from infections caused by bacteria, fungi and viruses. Maternal IgG is transferred to fetus through the placenta that is vital for immune defense of the neonate against infections.

IgG activates the classical pathway of the complement system. It neutralizes virus particles and toxins. IgG plays a key role in antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and phagocytosis. It might be associated with allergy. IgG mediates transplacental transport and participates in the secondary immune response. It has the longest serum half life.

General description

Binds all rabbit Igs.

IgG consists of four isotypes IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4. It contains four polypeptide chains, made of two identical 50 kDa γ heavy (H) chains and two identical 25 kDa κ or λ light (L) chains, which is linked together by inter-chain disulfide bonds.
