This monoclonal antibody enables specific detection of mouse IgG2a in immunoassays such as ELISpot and ELISA.
Recommendation
MG2a is recommended as detection mAb in ELISpot in combination with capture mAbs MT24/JC5-1 (product code 3876-3) or with coated antigen. The antibody is also suitable for antigen-specific ELISA.

Analyte description
Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is the most abundant Ig isotype in serum, making up approximately 80% of all serum Immunoglobulins. In mice, the IgG subclasses are defined IgG1, IgG2a/c, IgG2b, and IgG3. The IgG2a allele is expressed in e.g., Balb/c mice.
