Product Overview
Isotype ControlMouse IgG2a (L234AL235AP329G/LALAPG) Recombinant Isotype Control Antibody (MOPC-173) is a monoclonal isotype control antibody (clone MOPC-173). Isotype control antibodies match the host species, isotype and conjugate of a test antibody but are directed against an antigen absent from the sample, providing a measure of non-specific background binding (Fc-receptor interactions, non-specific membrane adhesion) in immunoassays.
Use this control alongside mouse-derived IgG2a (L234AL235AP329G/LALAPG) primary antibodies to set gating and background thresholds.

Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
