Invitrogen™ Mouse anti-Human Kappa Light Chain Secondary Antibody

Description

The antibody reacts with free kappa chains, but not with kappa chains attached to heavy chains. No reaction is observed with Ig kappa on membranes of lymphocytes. No crossreactivity with lambda chains. In Ouchterlony immunodiffusion no reaction with Bence Jones kappa is observed.

Anti-Human secondary antibodies are affinity-purified antibodies with well-characterized specificity for human immunoglobulins and are useful in the detection, sorting or purification of its specified target. Secondary antibodies offer increased versatility enabling users to use many detection systems (e.g. HRP, AP, fluorescence). They can also provide greater sensitivity through signal amplification as multiple secondary antibodies can bind to a single primary antibody. Most commonly, secondary antibodies are generated by immunizing the host animal with a pooled population of immunoglobulins from the target species and can be further purified and modified (i.e. immunoaffinity chromatography, antibody fragmentation, label conjugation, etc.) to generate highly specific reagents.
