Product Overview

Isotype Control

Mouse 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.

This control is also available in the following format(s): APC, PE, PerCP, Unconjugated. Matching the conjugate of your test antibody gives the most accurate background estimate.

Q.What is this isotype control used for?
A.It provides a matched negative control: an antibody of the same host, isotype and conjugate as your test antibody but with no specificity for antigens in your sample, so any signal it produces represents non-specific background.
Q.Which applications is it listed for?
A.The manufacturer lists Flow Cytometry. Use it under the same conditions and concentration as the test antibody in that application.
Q.How much should I use per test?
A.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.
Q.How do I choose the right isotype control?
A.Match three properties of your test antibody: host species (Mouse), isotype (IgM, lambda), and label (FITC). All three must match for the background estimate to be valid.
Q.Are other conjugates available?
A.Yes — this control is also offered as: APC, PE, PerCP, Unconjugated. Choose the version matching your detection channel.
Q.How should it be stored?
A.Store at 4°C for 12 months. Protect from light. Do not freeze.
