Background
The reactivity of the this preparation of two monoclonal antibodies is restricted to polyclonal and monoclonal immunoglobulins of the kappa type, as well as free kappa light chains, as tested in direct binding enzyme immunoassay, immunoblotting, immunoprecipitation and indirect immunoperoxidase staining. To identify the light chain type of immunoglobulins or free light chains in human serum, other body fluids, cell and tissue substrates and to determine its concentration in techniques as immunofluorescence staining and ELISA and immunoblotting using an indirect technique with monoclonal anti FITC labelled with peroxidase. The optimum working dilution is an assay-related characteristic and should always be determined by titration. For histochemical use optimum dilutions are mostly from 1:20 to 1:200; in ELISA from 1:500 upwards; in Western blotting from 1:1,000 upwards. These data should be interpreted as general recommendations only.

Source
Highly purified Bence Jones kappa proteins isolated from pooled human urine.

Product
Purified monoclonal mouse IgG1 kappa conjugated with FITC, lyophilized from a solution in phosphate buffered saline (pH7.2). No preservative added, as it may interfere with the antibody activity. No foreign protein added. Reconstitute the lyophilized product by adding 0.5 ml sterile distilled water.

Product Form: FITC

Formulation: Purified monoclonal mouse IgG1 kappa conjugated with FITC, lyophilized from a solution in phosphate buffered saline (pH7.2). No preservative added, as it may interfere with the antibody activity. No foreign protein added.

Specificity
Fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated purified monoclonal Mouse antibody to Human Ig kappa chain, free and bound

Species Reactivity: The antibody does not react with any other component of the Human immunoglobulin system or any other Human plasma protein as tested. This antiSerum has not been tested for cross-reactivity with other species.

Applications
ELISA,Immunocytochemistry,Immunohistochemistry (frozen),(In)direct immunofluorescence.

Storage
The lyophilized product is shipped at ambient temperature and may be stored at +4°C; prolonged storage at or below -20°C. Dilutions may be prepared by adding phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2). Avoid repeated thawing and freezing. If a slight precipitation occurs upon storage, this should be removed by centrifugation and will not affect the performance of the product. Diluted solutions should be stored at +4°C, not refrozen, and preferably used the same day.
