Immunogen
|
Highly purified normal IgM isolated from pooled rabbit serum. Freund's complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.

Specificity
|
The reactivity of the antiserum is restricted to the Fc part of the IgM molecule. In immunoelectrophoresis and radial immunodiffusion, using various antiserum concen-trations against normal rabbit serum a single precipitin line is obtained which shows a reaction of identity with the precipitin line obtained with purified IgM. No precipitation reaction is obtained with purified IgG, IgA, and IgG/Fab fragmentsPrecipitating polyclonal sheep antiserum to rabbit IgM, Fc specific

Characteristics
|
Total protein and IgG concentrations in the antiserum are comparable to those of pooled normal sheep serum. Antibody titre: Precipitin titre 1:64 when tested against pooled normal rabbit serum in agar-block immunodiffusion titra
|
Purification
|
Delipidated, heat inactivated, lyophilized, stable whole antiserum Adsorbed using antigens as required, to eliminate antibodies cross-reacting with other components of the immunoglobulin system or reacting with other serum proteins.
