Anti-Mouse IgM (μ-chain specific) antibody produced in rabbit

NA.46

Immunoglobulin M (IgM) is part of the immunoglobulin family. It exists as a pentamer in the serum and has a high molecular weight. Monomeric IgM has a molecular weight of 190kDa. The pentameric IgM consists of ten μ-heavy chains, ten light chains and a single J-chain which is linked by disulphide bonds. The μ-chain consists of five domains- VH, Cμ1, Cμ2, Cμ3 and Cμ4. Limited digestion using papain cleaves the antibody into three fragments, two of which are identical and contain the antigen-binding activity. They are known as Fragment antigen binding (Fab) fragments. The third fragment does not possess antigen-binding activity and is known as fragment crystallizable (Fc). It interacts with cells and effector molecules. The heavy chains of IgM contain an extra C domain that replaces the hinge region. IgM is the first antibody to be produced during an immune response and is the major isotype secreted in T-cell independent immune responses.

This product was prepared from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography using Mouse IgM coupled to agarose beads followed by solid phase adsorption(s) to remove any unwanted reactivities. Assay by immunoelectrophoresis resulted in a single precipitin arc against Anti-Rabbit Serum, Mouse IgM and Mouse Serum. No reaction was observed against other Mouse or Human heavy or light chain proteins.
