Application Notes
|
To identify the presence of IgM in human serum, other body fluids, cell and tissue substrates and to determine its concentration in techniques as ELISA, immunoperoxidase staining of cytoplasmic IgM, and immunoblotting. As a second step an avidin or streptavidin conjugate of the customer's choice have to be used. The optimum working dilution is an assay-related characteristic. It may vary widely and should always be determined by titration. For histochemical use optimum dilutions are mostly from 1:100 to 1:500, in ELISA from 1:1,000 upwards, in Western blotting from 1:2,000 upwards. These data should be interpreted as general recommendations only. Working dilutions may vary widely, strongly depending on the test conditions.
