SEE ALSO...

Ig J chain Antibody (F-12) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2a kappa light chain antibody that detects Ig J chain protein of human origin by western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), immunohistochemistry with paraffin-embedded sections (IHCP), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Ig J chain (F-12) antibody is available in both non-conjugated and various conjugated forms, including agarose, horseradish peroxidase (HRP), phycoerythrin (PE), fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), and multiple Alexa Fluor® conjugates. Immunoglobulin J chain (Ig J chain) functions as a linker protein that facilitates immunoglobulin A (IgA) and immunoglobulin M (IgM) assembly into functional forms. J chain enables IgA dimer and IgM pentamer formation, which are vital for effective immune responses. J chain promotes immunoglobulin polymerization, enhancing binding to secretory components and facilitating transport across epithelial barriers for mucosal immunity. J chain plays a key role in IgA secretion within mucosal tissues, forming larger polymeric structures that effectively neutralize pathogens. This essential function highlights J chain′s importance in maintaining immune defense mechanisms, particularly at mucosal surfaces where pathogen exposure is common.

I am using Ig J chain (F-12): sc-133177 monoclonal antibody to stain paraffin embedded tissue. Do you recommend antigen retrieval when using this antibody?

Asked by: Professor Griffin
We recommend performing antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6) and heat. The full protocol can be found here: https://www.scbt.com/scbt/resources/protocols/immunoperoxidase-staining
