Our RabMAb^® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb^® patents.

What are the advantages of a recombinant monoclonal antibody?
This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

- High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
- Improved sensitivity and specificity
- Long-term security of supply
- Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Conjugation ready
Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

Sandwich ELISA
The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization for ELISA-based assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type. Please note that the range provided for this antibody is only an estimation based on the performance of the product using the recommended antibody pair. Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibody in your assay.

Supplementary information

The kappa light chain alternatively known as Ig kappa chain is a component of immunoglobulins which are important for immune response. This protein has a molecular mass of roughly 25 kDa. It predominantly expresses in B lymphocytes where it pairs with heavy chains to form antibodies. Its expression is indicative of mature B cell functions serving as a marker for certain types of immune cells. The kappa light chain can also be detected outside of cells circulating in the blood and other bodily fluids.

Biological function summary

Kappa light chains are integral to the structure and function of antibodies. As part of the immunoglobulin molecule these chains contribute to antigen specificity by combining with heavy chains. Together they form the antigen-binding site. The kappa light chain is not part of a multiprotein complex; rather it directly participates in the antibody response. The presence of either kappa or lambda light chains can determine the particularities of antibody characteristics.

Pathways

Kappa light chains are elements of the immunological pathways notably the adaptive immune response. They interact with other proteins like immunoglobulin heavy chains to neutralize pathogens. The constant region of the kappa chain plays a role in determining the isotype of immunoglobulins which affects how antibodies mediate immune effector functions. Cross-linking of surface immunoglobulin by antigens can trigger B cell activation an essential step in the adaptive immune system.

Kappa light chains associate closely with multiple myeloma and certain types of lymphomas. Overproduction of kappa light chains in these diseases results in high levels detectable in the serum or urine which can be used diagnostically as markers. Also dysregulation of kappa chains correlates with autoimmune disorders whereby the immune system incorrectly targets its tissues. In disorders like these the interplay between kappa and lambda chains often arises showing imbalance between the two as a sign of abnormal B cell activity.

Target data

Constant region of immunoglobulin light chains. Immunoglobulins, also known as antibodies, are membrane-bound or secreted glycoproteins produced by B lymphocytes. In the recognition phase of humoral immunity, the membrane-bound immunoglobulins serve as receptors which, upon binding of a specific antigen, trigger the clonal expansion and differentiation of B lymphocytes into immunoglobulins-secreting plasma cells. Secreted immunoglobulins mediate the effector phase of humoral immunity, which results in the elimination of bound antigens (PubMed : 20176268, PubMed : 22158414). The antigen binding site is formed by the variable domain of one heavy chain, together with that of its associated light chain. Thus, each immunoglobulin has two antigen binding sites with remarkable affinity for a particular antigen. The variable domains are assembled by a process called V-(D)-J rearrangement and can then be subjected to somatic hypermutations which, after exposure to antigen and selection, allow affinity maturation for a particular antigen (PubMed : 17576170, PubMed : 20176268).
