Anti-KLH Antibody [KT83]

The Anti-KLH Antibody [KT83] from Antibodies.com is a Mouse monoclonal IgG2a reagent that serves as a reliable isotype control in immunological assays. Because keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) is a foreign glycoprotein absent from most experimental samples, the unconjugated KT83 clone provides a negative-control reference that helps researchers measure non-specific binding of primary antibodies, particularly in flow cytometry, immunofluorescence, and immunohistochemistry experiments. Supplied as a liquid formulation in a 200 µg size, the antibody can be matched to the host species, isotype subclass, and working concentration of the primary reagent under investigation, enabling accurate gating and background subtraction. KT83 is also useful for monitoring immune responses to KLH-conjugated vaccines and haptens in preclinical immunology studies. For storage, the reagent should be kept refrigerated at 4°C in single-use aliquots to preserve activity and limit freeze-thaw cycles. Each vial is intended for research use only and should be handled with standard laboratory precautions to avoid microbial contamination.
