Antibody Isotyping Kit: Introduction
Antibody is a blood protein produced in response to a specific antigen. An antibody is also known as immunoglobulin and is generally Y-shaped in structure. Advances in genetic engineering make antibodies, especially monoclonal antibodies, more robust and efficacious as these increase the binding capacity to any type of specific antigen and hence these are very effective as a diagnostics tool to evaluate various infectious diseases.
Antibody isotyping kits are used to determine the class of monoclonal antibody and subclass identity. For determining the class of monoclonal antibody and subclass identity, it is important to choose the method by which it should be purified and used in immunoassays; antibody isotyping kit falls under the category of immunoassay kits. Antibody isotyping kits are available in two basic formats: ELISA kits or membrane (strip or cassette) kits. When determining which kit to use, it is important to s
