In Vivo Grade Recombinant Hamster IgG2 Isotype Control

Hamster IgG antibodies are classified to three subclasses mainly based on the isotype of the heavy chain (IgG1, IgG2, and IgG3 for the heavy chain; kappa and lamda for the light chain), of which kappa is the most abundantnamed in serum. IgG antibodies are large molecules of about 150kD composed of four peptide chains, two identical heavy chains of about 50kD and two identical light chains of about 25kD. The four peptides are arranged in a Y-shape tetramer by disulfide bonds formed between the two heavy chains and between a heavy chain and a light chain.

Hamster IgG2 antibodies can be purified by the protein G beads, and relatively lower yield by the protein A beads.
