Jackson/Alexa Fluor® 680 AffiniPure Fab Fragment Goat Anti-Mouse IgG2b, Fcγ fragment specific/0.5 mg/115-627-187

Fab fragment antibodies are generated by papain digestion of whole IgG antibodies to remove the entire Fc portion, including the hinge region. These antibodies are monovalent, containing only a single antigen binding site. The molecular weight of Fab fragments is about 50 kDa.

Storage and Rehydration: Store freeze-dried solid at 2-8°C. Rehydrate with the indicated volume of dH2O (see product specification sheet) and centrifuge if not clear. Prepare working dilution on day of use. Product is stable for about 6 weeks at 2-8°C as an undiluted liquid.Extended Storage after Rehydration: Aliquot and freeze at -70°C or below. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Alternatively, add an equal volume of glycerol (ACS grade or better) for a final concentration of 50%, and store at -20°C as a liquid. Expiration date: one year from date of rehydration. The expiration date may be extended if test results are acceptable for the intended use.

1:100 - 1:800 for sequential labeling applications.

To complex with primary antibody in solution, use 1:1 weight ratio of Fab:primary antibody (3:1 molar ratio). Vortex and incubate for 30 minutes at room temperature prior to use. Titrate complex to optimal dilution for assay.

Dilution factors are presented in the form of a range because the optimal dilution is a function of many factors, such as antigen density, permeability, etc. The actual dilution used must be determined empirically.

Alexa Fluor® 680

Alexa Fluor® 680 and Alexa Fluor® 790 conjugates are used for very sensitive Western blots, ELISAs, and multiplexing arrays. Alexa Fluor® 680 conjugates are excited with a peak around 684 nm and fluoresce with a peak around 702 nm. Alexa Fluor® 790 conjugates are excited with a peak around 792 nm and fluoresce at a peak around 803 nm. They are the best choice for highly sensitive single or double labeling with fluorescence imaged in a LI-COR Odyssey® imager.
