Ms IgG2a,k Ctrl, C1.18.4, UC, 100µg

STEMCELL Technologies offers a mouse monoclonal IgG2a, kappa antibody (Clone C1.18.4) intended for use as an isotype-matched control to estimate the degree of non-specific binding by an antigen-specific antibody [S1][S2]. Ideally, the isotype control should share the same subclass of heavy chain and light chain as the specific antibody being employed, and when a conjugated antibody is used, an isotype control conjugated to the same molecule should be chosen [S1][S2]. The C1.18.4 clone has been verified for use as an isotype control for assessing non-specific binding to cells in flow cytometry applications [S1]. Supplier data lists applicable techniques as flow cytometry, functional assays, immunohistochemistry, and Western blot [S2]. Available conjugation formats include unconjugated, APC, FITC, PE, and PerCP-Cy5.5 [S1][S2]. The target is IgG2a isotype control, the isotype is IgG2a, kappa, the host species is mouse, and the area of interest is immunology, with Gene ID listed as not applicable [S2].
