AGP4 Product details

AGP4 is a second generation IgM monoclonal antibody developed with specificity for the repeating subunits present in PEG. AGP4 appears to possess even greater affinity for PEG than AGP3. A sensitive ELISA can be achieved utilizing AGP4 as a capture antibody and 3.3-biotin, AGP3-biotin or AGP4-biotin as the detection reagent.

Applications

Free PEG	†

† free PEG can be detected on immunoblots and if coated in microtiter plates. Free PEG is detected poorly by ELISA.

Product Form	Purified IgM liquid
Preparation	Purified IgM prepared by gel filtration chromatography
Buffer solution	Phosphate buffered saline pH 7.4
Preservative	0.02% sodium azide (NaN₃)
Immunogen	Conjugate of an antibody and PEG-modified E. coli β-glucuronidase
Fusion partners	Spleen cells from immunized BALB/c mice and FO myeloma cells
Specificity	AGP4 binds to the repeating subunits of polyethylene glycol. The minimum PEG size that can be bound is ~ 2000 Da. Effective binding is greatly enhanced in PEG conjugates (i.e. PEG-protein, PEG-liposome, PEG-cell, PEG-nanoparticle conjugates).
ELISA	Coating concentrations of 5 µg/ml (50 µl/well) are recommended. AGP3-biotin, 3.3-biotin or AGP4-biotin are recommended for detection
Storage	Store aliquots at -20^oC. Antibodies should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
