Anti-hAG-2 Antibody

What it means: Clonality describes whether the antibody derives from one B-cell clone (monoclonal) or many (polyclonal) - this product is monoclonal.

Why it matters:

• Monoclonals give epitope-level consistency between lots; polyclonals recognize multiple epitopes and can boost signal.
• Clonality guides assay choice: polyclonals often excel in capture and detection of low-abundance targets, monoclonals in reproducible quantitative work.

How to interpret here: As a monoclonal antibody, expect lot-to-lot epitope consistency ideal for standardized assays.

What it means: Host is the species in which the antibody was raised - Mouse for this product.

Why it matters:

• Host species determines which secondary antibodies are compatible.
• In multi-labeling, primaries from different hosts prevent secondary cross-detection.

How to interpret here: Pair this mouse-raised antibody with an anti-Mouse secondary; avoid combining with other mouse primaries in the same panel.

What it means: Reactivity lists the species whose target protein this antibody has been shown or predicted to recognize: Human.

Why it matters:

• Epitope conservation varies across species; validated reactivity avoids false negatives.
• Unlisted species may still cross-react if the epitope is conserved - but require validation.

How to interpret here: For samples from Human this antibody can be used as validated; for other species, run a positive control first.

What it means: Isotype is the antibody class and subclass - IgG1 here.

Why it matters:

• Isotype determines Fc-dependent behavior, including protein A/G binding and secondary specificity.
• Isotype controls of the same class are needed for flow cytometry and IHC background assessment.

How to interpret here: Use IgG1-matched isotype controls and secondaries for clean, interpretable results.

What it means: Applications are the assay formats in which this antibody is validated: Western Blot, ELISA.

Why it matters:

• Validation per application means the antibody performed under those assay conditions.
• Performance in unlisted applications is possible but must be established empirically.

How to interpret here: Start with the validated applications (Western Blot, ELISA) and the vendor-recommended dilutions, then optimize for your sample type.

What it means: Concentration is the antibody protein amount per volume as supplied - 100ug/100ul.

Why it matters:

• Knowing the stock concentration lets you compute exact dilution factors.
• Consistent working concentrations improve reproducibility across experiments.

How to interpret here: From the 100ug/100ul stock, prepare working dilutions immediately before use and avoid repeated freeze-thaw of diluted antibody.
