Background
The reactivity of the antiserum is directed to the Fc subunits of the IgE molecule which represents strict isotype (class) specificity. In immunoelectrophoresis and double radial immunodiffusion, using various antiserum concentrations against appropriate concentrations of IgE, a single precipitin line is obtained which shows a reaction of full identity with the precipitin line obtained with the used immunogen. It does not react with mouse IgG, including all subclasses, IgA, IgM and IgG/Fab or any non-Ig protein in mouse serum. As unlabelled secondary antibody for indirect detection of IgE in mouse cell, tissue substrates and body fluids in immunofluorescence and immunoenzyme assay methods; for the production of immunoconjugates with a selected marker; to prepare insoluble immunoaffinity adsorbents by coupling to an artificial carrier; as catching or detecting antibody reagent in non-isotopic assay methodology (e.g. ELISA) to identify and measure IgE in mouse serum or other body fluid. When applied in any immunocytochemical or histochemical staining procedure or solid phase coupling technique, the optimum concentration of the IgG preparation should be established.

Source
Purified homogenous IgE isolated from mouse serum. Freund’s complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.

Product
Purified hyperimmune goat IgG lyophilized from a solution in phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2). No preservative added, as it may interfere with the antibody activity. It is reconstituted by adding 1 ml sterile distilled water, spun down to remove insoluble particles, divided into small aliquots, frozen and stored at or below -20°C.

Formulation: Purified hyperimmune goat IgG lyophilized from a solution in phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2). No preservative added, as it may interfere with the antibody activity.

Specificity
Purified IgG fraction of polyclonal Goat antiSerum to Mouse IgE, Fc specific

Species Reactivity: Inter-species cross-reactivity is a normal feature of antibodies to immunoglobulins, since immunoglobulins of different species frequently share antigenic determinants. Cross-reactivity of this antiSerum has not been tested in detail because of the low level of IgE in most species.

Applications
Indirect immunofluorescence,ELISA,Dot blot,Immunoblotting.

Storage
The lyophilized IgG fraction is shipped at ambient temperature and may be stored at +4°C; prolonged storage at or below -20°C. Prior to use, an aliquot is thawed slowly at ambient temperature, spun down again and used to prepare working dilutions by adding sterile phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2). Repeated thawing and freezing should be avoided. Working dilutions should be stored at +4°C, not refrozen, and preferably used the same day. If a slight precipitation occurs upon storage, this should be removed by centrifugation. It will not affect the performance of the product.
