Product Overview
Isotype ControlMouse IgM, lambda Recombinant Isotype Control Antibody (MOPC-104E), FITC is a monoclonal isotype control antibody (clone MOPC-104E), conjugated to FITC. 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 IgM lambda primary antibodies carrying the same FITC label to set gating and background thresholds.

Applications & Recommended Use
Vendor-listed applications: Flow Cytometry.
For flow cytometric staining, the suggested use of this reagent is 0.5 µg per million cells in 100 µL volume. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
Run the isotype control at the same concentration and staining conditions as the corresponding test antibody to obtain a matched background reference.
Storage & Handling
Store at 4°C for 12 months. Protect from light. Do not freeze.
Supplied in 0.01M PBS, pH 7.4, 0.2% BSA, 0.05% Proclin 300.
Safety
For research use only. Not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. Follow standard laboratory safety practices when handling.
