F(ab’)2 Anti-Human IgG IgA IgM (H&L) Antibody generated in goat detects human (heavy and light chain) immunoglobulin G, A, and M. Immunoglobulin G binds to antigens and can neutralize or opsonize targets, and are predominantly involved in the secondary immune response. Immunoglobulin A (IgA) is an antibody that plays a critical role in mucosal immunity. IgA has two subclasses (IgA1 and IgA2) and can exist in a dimeric form called secretory IgA (sIgA). Immunoglobulin M, or IgM, is a pentamer composed of 5 immunoglobulin molecules linked through their F(c) domain by the J chain. Secondary Antibodies are available in a variety of formats and conjugate types. When choosing a secondary antibody product, consideration must be given to species and immunoglobulin specificity, conjugate type, fragment and chain specificity, level of cross-reactivity, and host-species source and fragment composition. F(ab’)2 Antibody is ideal for investigators who routinely perform flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry or IHC and other immunoassays.
