Mouse IgG1 isotype control antibody

Mouse IgG1 isotype control and mutants (natural and engineered mIgG1 isotype controls) are useful for in vitro and in vivo studies from ELISA, Western blot (WB), to cell-based assay to animal model study. The isotypes of mouse IgG antibody reagents used in scientific research and clinical diagnostics are mainly mouse IgG1 kappa. Mouse IgG1 antibodies and engineered mutants are also used in therapeutic drug discovery. Mouse IgG1 antibodies are more like human IgG4 antibodies than human IgG1 antibodies, which behave more like mouse IgG2a or IgG2c antibodies. Many antibody drugs especially those targetting immune checkpoint proteins use the human IgG4 constant regions. 

Please contact us to ask for a quote for the Fc silenced mouse IgG1 isotype control mutants, mIgG1 isotype control and mutants with Avi-, His-, and Flag-tags, and biotinylated mIgG1 isotype control and mutants. A variety of conjugates (such as dyes and fluorophores) with the mouse IgG1 isotype control and Fc-slient mutants are available.

Background

Mouse IgG antibodies are classified to four subclasses mainly based on the isotype of the heavy chain (IgG1, IgG2a or IgG2c, IgG2b, and IgG3 for the heavy chain; kappa and lamda for the light chain), of which IgG1 and kappa are the most abundantnamed in serum. IgG antibodies are large molecules of about 150 kDa composed of four peptide chains, two identical heavy chains of about 50 kDa and two identical light chains of about 25 kDa. The four peptides are arranged in a Y-shape tetramer by disulfide bonds formed between the two heavy chains and between a heavy chain and a light chain.
