Product Specific Information
Positive control: Mamma carcinoma (normal mamma shows up lower expression of the protein), skin sweat glands.
The reactivity of this preparation of two monoclonal antibodies is restricted to a surface determinant on the kappa light chain. It is reacting with polyclonal and monoclonal immunoglobulins of the kappa type, as well as free kappa light chains as tested in direct binding enzyme immunoassay, immunoblotting, immunoprecipitation and direct immunoperoxidase staining.
Species Reactivity: The antibody does not react with any other component of the Human immunoglobulin system or any other Human plasma protein as tested. This antiserum has not been tested for cross-reactivity with other species.
Reconstitute the lyophilized product by adding 0.5 mL sterile distilled water. Dilutions may be prepared by adding phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2). Avoid repeated thawing and freezing. If a slight precipitation occurs upon storage, this should be removed by centrifugation and will not affect the performance of the product.
Target Information
Immunoglobulin classes share the same basic four polypeptide chain structure of two heavy chains (five types) and two light chains (kappa, lambda; both having a molecular weight of 22.5 kDa). Kappa and lambda consist of a variable region and a constant region and can easily be differentiated by the antigenic properties of the constant region. The ratio of kappa to lambda is 70:30. Antibodies to the kappa light chain are reportedly useful in the identification of leukemias, plasmacytomas, and certain non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. Demonstration of clonality in lymphoid infiltrates indicates that the infiltrate is clonal and therefore malignant.
