Applications
Suitable for use in FLISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunofluorescence, Immunohistochemistry, Immunocytochemistry and Immunomicroscopy. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilutions
Immunohistochemistry: 1:20-1:2000 Immunocytochemistry: 1:50-1:5000 Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
FITC/Protein Ratio
7 Moles FITC per Mole Antibody
Storage and Stability
Store product at 4°C if to be used immediately within two weeks. For long-term storage, aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing and store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable at -20°C for 12 months after receipt. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Caution: FITC conjugates are sensitive to light. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
Immunogen
Purified human IgE, epsilon Chain
Form
Supplied as a liquid in 10mM sodium phosphate, 0.15M sodium chloride, pH 7.2, 1% BSA (Protease and IgG free), 0.05% sodium azide. Labeled with Fuorescein Isothiocyanate (FITC).
Purity
Purified by affinity chromatography. ≥95% by SDS-PAGE.
Specificity
Recognizes epsilon chains on human IgE based on IEP. No reactivity is observed with light chains on human immunoglobulins and on non-immunoglobulin human serum proteins.
