Immunogen: Rat IgA alpha heavy chain
Physical State: Lyophilized
Purity and Specificity: This product was prepared from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography using Rat IgA coupled to agarose beads followed by solid phase adsorption(s) to remove any unwanted reactivities. Assay by immunoelectrophoresis resulted in a single precipitin arc against anti-Goat Serum, Rat IgA and Rat Serum. Specificity was confirmed by ELISA at less than 1% against other Rat heavy or light chain combinations.
Background: Anti-Rat IgA Texas Red™ Antibody generated in goat detects immunoglobulin A heavy chain from rat. Immunoglobulin A (IgA) is an antibody that plays a critical role in mucosal immunity. IgA has two subclasses (IgA1 and IgA2) and can exist in a dimeric form called secretory IgA (sIgA). Secondary Antibodies are available in a variety of formats and conjugate types. When choosing a secondary antibody product, consideration must be given to species and immunoglobulin specificity, conjugate type, fragment and chain specificity, level of cross-reactivity, and host-species source and fragment composition. This Anti-Rat IgA is conjugated to Texas Red™.
Low Endotoxin: No
Secondary Antibody Specificity: IgA
Other: FLOW CYTOMETRY 1:500 - 1:2,500
