Long description
As tested in immunoelectrophoresis and double radial immunodiffusion against pooled normal rat serum and purified IgG fractions and light chain preparations, the antiserum reacts with determinants exposed on the surface (SD) and the Fab portion of all intact immunoglobulins, with Fab or F(ab’)2 subunits, and with free light chains of both types; also with determinants exposed only on free light chains but hidden in the intact immunoglobulin molecule (HD or hidden determinants) or Bence Jones proteins. This antiserum is not kappa or lambda chain specific. It does not react with any non-Ig protein in rat serum, as tested by immunoelectrophoresis and double radial immunodiffusion. As precipitating antiserum in a variety of immunodiffusion techniques including immunoelectrophoresis and double and single radial immunodiffusion Mancini, Ouchterlony). It has not been tested for use in nephelometry, ELISA or immunochemistry, but this does not exclude such use if proper controls are included.

Antibody come from
Purified light chains isolated from polyclonal rat IgG. Freund’s complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.

Other description
Delipidated, heat inactivated lyophilized stable whole serum No preservative added, as it may interfere with the antibody activity. No foreign protein added. Total protein and IgG concentration in the antiserum are comparable to those of pooled goat serum. No foreign proteins added.

Antibody s reacts with these species
Inter-species cross-reactivity is a normal feature of antibodies to immunoglobulins, since Ig of different species frequently share antigenic determinants. Cross-reactivity of this antiSerum has not been tested in detail, but a wide scale of reactivity with IgG of other mammalian species must be assumed. The degree of cross-reactivity depends in addition to the phylogenetic relationship also on the concentRations of the reactants and the sensitivity of the assay format.

Antibody s suited for
Immunoprecipitation. In immunoelectrophoresis use 2 μl or equivalent against 120 μl antiserum. In double radial immunodiffusion (Ouchterlony) use a rosette arrangement with 10 μl antiserum in a 3 mm diameter centre well and 2 μl serum samples (neat and serially diluted) in 2 mm diameter peripheral wells. In single immunodiffusion, use 1% antiserum in agar gel to establish a standard curve. Precipitin titre not less than 1:8 when tested against normal rat serum in agar block titration.

Storage
The lyophilized antiserum is shipped at ambient temperature and may be stored at +4°C; prolonged storage at or below -20°C. It is reconstituted by adding 1 ml sterile distilled water. Working dilutions are prepared by adding sterile phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2). Repeated thawing and freezing should be avoided. Working dilutions should be stored at +4°C, not refrozen, and preferably used the same day. If a slight precipitation occurs upon storage, this should be removed by centrifugation. It will not affect the performance of the product. Lyophilized at +4° C--at least 10 years. Reconstituted at or below -20° C--3-5 years. Reconstituted at +4° C--7 days

Description
This antibody needs to be stored at + 4°C in a fridge short term in a concentrated dilution. Freeze thaw will destroy a percentage in every cycle and should be avoided.

About
Rats are used to make rat monoclonal anti mouse antibodies. There are less rat- than mouse clones however. Rats genes from rodents of the genus Rattus norvegicus are often studied in vivo as a model of human genes in Sprague-Dawley or Wistar rats.
