Function

Constant region of immunoglobulin heavy 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). Mediates IgG effector functions on monocytes triggering ADCC of virus-infected cells.

Purification notes

This antibody was isolated by affinity chromatography using antigen coupled to agarose beads. F(ab')2 fragment were generated using a pepsin digestion. Fc fragments and whole IgG molecules have been removed. Fragments were conjugated to Phycoerythrin.

Notes

By immunoelectrophoresis and ELISA this antibody reacts specifically with human IgG. Cross reactivity with IgA and IgM is negligible. No antibody was detected against non-immunoglobulin serum proteins. Less than 1% cross reactivity to mouse and rat IgG was detected. This antibody may cross react with IgG from other species.

    CHO cell line expressing membrane bound human TNFα (stable transfectants) was incubated with 10 μg/ml Remicade (anti-human TNFa monoclonal antibody) for 1 h in 4°C. The unbound antibody was washed off by centrifugation (300x g for 5 min) and binding of remicade was detected with PE Goat F(ab)2 anti-hIgG Fc (ab98596) – 1:100 (5 μg/ml), 30 min incubation in 4°C. The cells were washed twice in FACS buffer (2.5% BSA, 0.1% sodium azide in dPBS), before flow cytometric analysis.

    PE goat F(ab)2 anti-hIgG detected binding of remicade to TNFα CHO cell line giving strong positive signal, however there was some non-specific binding to the cells alone. Further optimisation of the reagent concentration and washing procedure should improve the background signal.
