General description

Anti-FITC antibody, Mouse monoclonal, (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the FL-D6 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from a BALB/c mouse immunized with FITC (fluorescein isothiocyanate)-BSA conjugate. This antibody specifically recognizes both free and conjugated FITC.
FITC (fluorescein isothiocyanate) is a fluorochrome dye that absorbs ultraviolet or blue light (with peak wavelength of approximately 495 nm) causing molecules to become excited and emit a visible yellow-green light (with peak wavelength of approximately 519 nm).

Specificity

Monoclonal Anti-FITC antibody specifically recognizes both free and conjugated FITC. The antibody does not react with bound or free TRITC (tetramethylrhodamine isothiocyanate).

Immunogen

FITC-BSA conjugate

Application

Anti-FITC antibody, Mouse monoclonal may be used in:
  • immunoblotting
  • enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
  • immunohistochemistry

Biochem/physiol Actions

FITC (fluorescein isothiocyanate) is a commonly used protein marker including antibodies in immunofluorescent techniques. Antibodies to FITC are used to identify FITC labeled proteins and as models to study the mechanism of antibody response to a well-defined hapten.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

Storage and Stability

Store at –20°C. For continuous use, store at 2–8°C for up to one month. For extended storage, freeze in working aliquots. Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation. Discard working dilution samples if not used within 12 hours.

This paper describes the synthesis of bifunctional polyacrylamides containing pendant vancomycin (Van) and fluorescein groups, and the use of these polymers to direct antibodies against fluorescein to self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) presenting d-alanine-d-alanine (dAdA) groups. These polymers bind biospecifically to these
