Primary Antibodies<br />

Immunoglobulin D<br />

Clone DRN1C<br />

1 mL, 0.1 mL liquid NCL-L-IgD P (HIER) Reference Range<br />

Clone DRN1C was developed to produce reduced background staining that is<br />

associated with polyclonal antibodies on paraffin sections.<br />

IgD, together with IgM, are the major immunoglobulins expressed on the<br />

surface of B cells where it seems they may operate as mutually interacting<br />

antigen receptors for the control of lymphocyte activation and suppression.<br />

The greater susceptibility of IgD to proteolysis in combination with antigen<br />

could well be implicated in such a function.<br />

Immunoglobulin G<br />

Clone RWP49 New!<br />

1 mL, 0.1 mL liquid NCL-L-IgG P (HIER)<br />

Clone RWP49 was developed to produce reduced background staining that is<br />

associated with polyclonal antibodies on paraffin sections.<br />

The human immunoglobulins consist of two identical heavy chains (~50 kD) and<br />

two identical light chains, which are linked together by disulphide bonds. The<br />

light chains can be either kappa or lambda. The five immunoglobulins IgA, IgD,<br />

IgE, IgG and IgM differ in their heavy chains, and IgA and IgM differ as they can<br />

occur in polymeric forms. The heavy chain of IgG is named the gamma-chain. In<br />

humans, IgG consists of four sub classes that differ only marginally in their<br />

amino acid composition. Antibodies to IgG have been reported to be useful in<br />

the identification of plasma cells, lymphoid cells containing IgG and classifying<br />

B cell derived neoplasms. The normal B cell population is polyclonal,<br />

expressing a range of different immunoglobulins. In contrast, the majority of B<br />

cell neoplasms are characterized by the proliferation of monoclonal cells<br />

expressing one type of light chain, whereas more than one type of heavy chain<br />

can be expressed by the same cell. IgG positive neoplasms include hairy cell<br />

leukemia, splenic lymphoma and follicular lymphoma.<br />

Immunoglobulin M<br />

Clone 8H6<br />

1 mL, 0.1 mL liquid immunoglobulin M NCL-L-IgM P (HIER) W<br />

Reference Range<br />

Clone 8H6 was developed to produce reduced background staining that is<br />

associated with polyclonal antibodies on paraffin sections.<br />

IgM, together with IgD, is the major immunoglobulin expressed on the<br />

surface of B cells and normally constitutes about 10 per cent of serum<br />

immunoglobulin. IgM antibody is prominent in early immune responses to<br />

most antigens and predominates in certain antibody responses such as<br />

‘natural’ blood group antibodies.<br />

1 mL lyophilized immunoglobulin G<br />

NCL-IgGp P (Enzyme) W<br />

1 mL lyophilized immunoglobulin M<br />

NCL-IgMp P (Enzyme) W<br />

The basic structure of immunoglobulin (Ig) molecules is a tetramer of two<br />

light chains and two heavy chains linked by disulfide bonds. There are two<br />

types of light chains, kappa and lambda, each composed of a constant<br />

domain (CL) and a variable domain (VL). There are five types of heavy<br />

chains: alpha, delta, epsilon, gamma and mu, all consisting of a variable<br />

domain (VH) and three (in alpha, delta and gamma) or four (in epsilon and<br />

mu) constant domains (CH1 to CH4).<br />

Product Specific Information<br />

NCL-IgAp, NCL-IgDp, NCL-IgGp and NCL-IgMp have each been solid-phase<br />

absorbed to remove cross-reactivity.<br />
