Fig.1: Cell Surface staining of splenocytes using 0.5 µgof Rat IgG1 isotype control. Goat anti-Rat FITC secondary antibody was used. Purple: cells alone, Green: rat IgG1 isotype control (10-105).
Description: A Rat isotype control is an antibody of the same class (isotype) of immunoglobulin as the specific Rat antibody, but is either myeloma-derived antibody of unknown specificity, or is raised against an antigen that is presumed not to be present on or in the cells under study. Isotype control antibodies are used for the estimation of non-specific binding of target primary antibodies to cell surface antigens.
