Specificity / Sensitivity
The antibody is not directed against any known antigen. It functions as an isotype control for rat monoclonal antibodies.
Background
Isotype control antibodies are used to estimate the nonspecific binding of target primary antibodies due to F receptor binding or other protein-protein interactions. An isotype control antibody should have the same immunoglobulin type and be used at the same concentration as the test antibody.
