LANCE Anti-Mouse IgG Eu-Antibody, 1 mg

Eu-W1024 labeled anti-mouse IgG antibody for LANCE® assays where analyte concentration < 1-10 nmol/L and assay pH > 7. The universal reagent for detection of mouse antibodies consists of the IgG fraction of anti-mouse antibodies raised in rabbit. There are from 6 to 10 Eu3+ ions per IgG. Interference from human, ox and rat antibodies can usually be removed by adding serum from the other species to the assay buffer.

Generic LANCE® reagents are intended for setting up homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) based assays using Eu-Chelate label as a donor and APC-labeled reagent as an acceptor. Generic reagents facilitate setting up LANCE® assays when there is a limited amount of specific reagents available or the assay reagents are relatively unstable. To enable optimization of both the signal or the noise ratio and signal stability, some of the generic reagents are labeled with two different chelates, W1024 or W8044.

LANCE® (Lanthanide chelate excite) and LANCE® Ultra are our TR-FRET (time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer), homogeneous (no wash) technologies. One molecule of interest is labeled with a donor fluorophore (a LANCE Europium chelate) and the second molecule is labeled with an acceptor fluorophore [ULight™ dye, allophycocyanin (APC), etc.]. Upon excitation at 320 or 340 nm, energy can be transferred from the donor Europium chelate to the acceptor fluorophore if sufficiently close for FRET (~10 nm). This results in the emission of light at 665 nm (for ULight dye and APC).
