Anti-IgG2a antibodies
We make 4 antibodies against IgG2a for 2 species, unconjugated or conjugated to biotin. This page explains how they differ, so you can pick the one your experiment needs.
Rather use a ready-made kit? See our IgG2a ELISpot kits.
What differs between these antibodies
Which species they are for
Available for Mouse and Rat. This is the species whose immunoglobulin you want to detect, and it decides which clones there are, so it is the first thing to choose.
Which clone
We make 3 anti-IgG2a antibody clones. A clone is one specific antibody that binds one site on its target, so it is what you cite or reorder by name. A sandwich assay needs two clones that bind different sites; the capture and detection pairs below are matched for that.
Which conjugate
Unconjugated antibodies carry no label. You coat a plate with them as the capture antibody, or use them where the antibody itself is the reagent. Biotinylated antibodies are detected with a streptavidin conjugate, such as streptavidin-ALP or streptavidin-HRP.
Capture and detection pairs
To build your own IgG2a ELISA or ELISpot, coat with the unconjugated capture antibody and detect with the biotinylated detection antibody, then a streptavidin conjugate. Pairs marked “Used in our kits” are the ones our own kits are built on.

About IgG2a
Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is the most abundant Ig isotype in serum, making up approximately 80% of all serum Immunoglobulins. In mice, the IgG subclasses are defined IgG1, IgG2a/c, IgG2b, and IgG3. The IgG2a allele is expressed in e.g., Balb/c mice.
