Anti-human IgG4 mAb (MTG42), unconjugated

Intended use

This ELISpot Flex kit is intended for the enumeration of cells secreting human IgG4 using the ELISpot assay. For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Serum/Plasma samples

With this kit, detection of antigen-specific IgG4 secreting B cells can be performed using coated antigen. If detection with biotinylated antigen is preferred, the plate should instead be coated with the subclass specific antibody.

For memory B cells, we recommend pre-stimulation with R848 and recombinant human IL-2 (both included).

Product details

Product	ELISpot Flex: Human IgG4 (ALP)
Application	ELISpot
Analyte	IgG4
Reactivity	Human
Specificity	This kit is based on a matched pair of mAbs enabling specific detection of human IgG4.

Shipping and Storage

Shipping	Shipped at ambient temperature.
Storage	Store antibodies and enzyme conjugate at 4-8 °C upon receipt. R848 and IL-2 should be stored at -20 °C.
Shelf life	At least 18 months from date of receipt.

PBMC were pre-incubated for 4 days in the presence or absence of R848 and recombinant IL-2. The cells were then washed, added into ELISpot wells (stimulated cells: 200,000 cells/well, unstimulated cells: 100,000 cells/well) and analyzed for the secretion of total IgG4 (overnight incubation).

IgG4

Analyte description	IgG (Immunoglobulin G) is the most abundant Ig isotype in serum, making up approximately 80% of all serum Immunoglobulins. In humans, there are four subclasses of IgG, with the highest serum concentrations of IgG1 followed by IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4. IgG4 cannot activate the complement system but binds well to Fc receptors.
Alternative names	Immunoglobulin G4, IgG4
Cell type	B cell
Gene ID	3503
