ABflo® 450 Rabbit IgG isotype control,ABclonal,A27451

The isotype of a primary antibody and the application it is being used in can result in background staining. Primary antibody background noise can be caused by binding to Fc receptors on target cells; by non-specific interactions with cellular proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids; or by cell autofluorescence. Isotype control antibodies can act as negative controls to help differentiate non-specific background signal from specific antibody signal because they have no relevant specificity to a target antigen.An isotype control antibody should have the same immunoglobulin type and be used at the same concentration as the test antibody.
