Anti-KLH Antibody [KT83]

The Anti-KLH Antibody [KT83] from Antibodies.com is a mouse IgG2a monoclonal antibody that specifically recognizes Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH), a large copper-containing respiratory protein routinely used as a carrier in conjugate vaccine and hapten immunization studies. Although the clone was raised against KLH itself, in practice it is most often deployed as an isotype control to establish baseline non-specific binding of mouse IgG2a in flow cytometry, immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, and ELISA workflows, particularly when primary antibodies of the same IgG2a subclass are being evaluated on matched cell populations. Each vial is supplied as 100 ug of unconjugated liquid antibody in a buffer suitable for direct dilution into staining, coating, or capture protocols. The unconjugated format lets end users couple the antibody to their preferred reporter, such as biotin, HRP, or a fluorophore, depending on the downstream assay design. For long-term stability the reagent should be stored refrigerated, protected from light, and kept on ice to limit freeze-thaw damage; small aliquots are recommended to preserve binding activity over time. Researchers profiling KLH-conjugate immunogenicity, characterizing anti-hapten responses, or simply needing a matched mouse IgG2a reference reagent will find this clone a consistent control standard.
