Human IgM Fab µ Fragment
- control or standard reagent
- SDS, Western Blotting, and ELISA experiments
Human IgM Fab mu is ideal for investigators involved in serum protein component research. IgM is by far the physically largest antibody in the human circulatory system. It is the first antibody to appear in response to initial exposure to antigen. The spleen is the major site of specific IgM production. Distinct heavy chains differ in size and composition; alpha and gamma contain approximately 450 amino acids, while μ and ε have approximately 550 amino acids.
Monovalent Fab fragments of affinity-purified, secondary antibodies are offered to cover (block) the surface of immunoglobulins for double labeling primary antibodies from the same host species, or to block endogenous immunoglobulins in tissue sections or on cell surfaces. They can be used for these purposes because each Fab fragment has only a single antigen binding site. HUMAN IgM (myeloma) Fab µ fragment can be utilized as a control or standard reagent in Western Blotting and ELISA experiments. Specific conditions should be optimized by the user.
