Anti-IgM Antibody [KT104]

The KT104 clone is a well-characterized mouse monoclonal antibody that specifically recognizes the mu heavy chain of rat IgM, making it a useful capture reagent for serological studies in rat models. Supplied by Antibodies.com as a liquid preparation at 200 µg, the unconjugated IgG1 antibody is validated for ELISA workflows and binds selectively to rat immunoglobulin without significant cross-reactivity to other rat isotypes. Researchers commonly use KT104 to quantify antigen-specific IgM responses in vaccinated or infected rat cohorts, where it serves as a coating antibody in indirect ELISA plates. For optimal stability, aliquot the antibody upon receipt and store at -20 °C in a manual defrost freezer; avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to preserve binding activity. The reagent is intended for research use only and is not approved for diagnostic or therapeutic applications.
