Immunoglobulin G (IgG) belongs to the immunoglobulin family and is a widely expressed serum antibody. An immunoglobulin has two heavy chains and two light chains connected by disulfide bond. It mainly helps in immune defense. It is a glycoprotein and a major class of immunoglobulin. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) participates in hypersensitivity type II and type III. Mouse consists of five immunoglobulin classes- IgM, IgG, IgA, IgD and IgE.
Mouse IgG is further divided into five classes- IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b and IgG3. IgG helps in opsonization, complement fixation and antibody dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity.
IgG antibody subtype is the most abundant serum immunoglobulins of the immune system. It is secreted by B cells and is found in blood and extracellular fluids.
IgG antibody is a glycoprotein, composed of two polypeptide chains (light and heavy), each possessing variable and constant domains. The variable region of IgG antibody is specific to antigens and is highly conserved.
Anti-Mouse IgG (whole molecule)-Peroxidase antibody is specific for all mouse IgG subclasses. IgG is purified from mouse serum by fractionation and ion exchange chromatography. The purified IgG is then conjugated to peroxidase by protein cross-linking with 0.2% glutaraldehyde.
