IgM (AGM1, IGHM, Constant Region of Heavy Chain of IgM, Ig Mu Chain C Region, Immunoglobulin Mu Heavy Chain) (PE)

Recognizes a protein of 75kD, identified as mu heavy chain of human immunoglobulins. It does not cross-react with alpha (IgA), gamma (IgG), epsilon (IgE), or delta (IgD), heavy chains, T-cells, monocytes, granulocytes, or erythrocytes. This MAb is useful in the identification of leukemias, plasmacytomas, and certain non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas. The most common feature of these malignancies is the restricted expression of a single heavy chain class. Demonstration of clonality in lymphoid infiltrates indicates that the infiltrate is clonal and therefore malignant.||Applications: |Suitable for use in Immunofluorescence, Flow Cytometry (Not Tested), FLISA and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.||Recommended Dilutions:|Immunohistochemistry: Formalin fixed and paraffin embedded tissues. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 minutes followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes.|Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.||Positive Control:|293T, Raji or hPBL cells. Tonsil or Spleen.||Storage and Stability:|Store product at 4°C in the dark. DO NOT FREEZE! Stable at 4°C for 12 months after receipt as an undiluted liquid. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Caution: PE conjugates are sensitive to light. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap.||Note: Applications are based on unconjugated antibody.
