Product overview
Human IgG ELISA kit (ab195215) is designed for the quantitative measurement of IgG protein in human serum, plasma, milk, urine, saliva, culture media and tissue extracts. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human IgG with 20 pg/mL sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
-Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
-Fully validated in biological samples
-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpeStep ELISA® kits.
CROSS REACTIVITY Human IgM, human IgA and human IgE were prepared at 10 ng/mL and 250 ng/mL in Sample Diluent NS and assayed for cross reactivity. No cross-reactivity was observed for IgM or IgE at either concentration with a mean OD deviation from background of -0.01. No cross-reactivity was observed for IgA at 10 ng/mL and only 0.4% cross-reactivity at 250 ng/mL of IgA.
INTERFERENCE
Purified human IgG was assayed at 5 ng/mL in the presence and absence of 250 ng/mL of human IgM, human IgA and human IgE to determine interference. After background subtraction, recovery of human IgG was observed at a mean of 98% with a standard deviation of 0.06.
SPECIES REACTIVITY
This kit recognizes human IgG protein.
Other species reactivity was determined by measuring 10 ng/mL of purified IgG from various species, interpolating the protein concentrations from the human standard curve, and expressing the interpolated concentrations as a percentage of the protein concentration of human IgG assayed at the same concentration.
Reactivity < 3% was determined for the following species: Mouse, Rat, Rabbit, Dog, Goat, Sheep, Cow, Guinea Pig
CALIBRATION
This immunoassy is calibrated against a highly purified human IgA. The NIBSC/WHO unclassified purified human IgG/IgM/IgG preperation 67/086. was evaluatied in this kit.
The dose response curve of the unclassified standard parallels the SimpleStep standard curve. To Convert sample values obtained with the SimpleStep IgA kit to approximate NIBSC International units, use the equation below.
NIBSC 67/086 approximate value (IU/mL) = 0.000017 (1.7e-5 IU) x SimpleStep IgA value (ng/mL)

Notes
Immunoglubulin G (IgG) is a glycoprotein molecule which belongs to the immunoglobulin family of proteins known as antibodies. Immunoglobulins are the key component of humoral immunity. IgG has an approximate molecular weight of about 150kDa and it is composed of four peptide chains: two identical heavy chains (γ) of about 50kDa and two identical light chains (κ) of about 25kDa each. The heavy chains are linked to each other and to the light chain by disulfide bonds. At the N terminus, both the heavy and the light chain contain variable regions (VH and VL) which account for antibody diversity. At the C terminus, both chains contain constant regions (CH and CL) but only CH mediates effector functions. Structurally the IgG molecule may be divided into: (1) the Fragment antigen binding region (Fab) containing the VL, VH, CL and CH2 all of which shape the antigen binding site and (2) the Fragment crystallizable region (Fc) containing CH domains 2 – 4 which stabilize the antibody and bind to the Fc receptor on the surface of macrophages, neutrophils, natural killer cells as well as to complement proteins to mediate therefore physiological effects.
IgG is synthesized and secreted by plasma B cells in response to an immunogen after recognition of specific epitopes on the antigen and it is generated following class switching and maturation of an antibody response, thus providing immune protection. There are four subclasses of IgG in humans (IgG 1, 2, 3, 4) with variable affinity to Fc receptors and complement. The levels of IgG are generally considered to be indicative of an individual’s immune status and are found increased in all types of infections, liver disease, severe malnutrition, dysproteinemia and rheumatoid arthritis. It is decrease in conditions such as hypogammaglobulinemia, X-linked agammaglobulinemia, lymphoid aplasia and chronic lymphoblastic leukemia. IgG accounts for 75% of the total human protein and can be found in serum, lymphatic fluid, cerebrospinal fluid, colostrum, milk, urine, saliva, sweat and body tissues. IgG has been shown to bind some bacterial strains from cutaneous microbiota.
The Fc portion of human IgG is frequently used as the basis of prolonged pharmacokinetics as it is used as a fusion partner to extend the half-life of fusion proteins.
