Ig κ light chain Antibody (mAHuIgk): sc-73324

Ig κ light chain Antibody (mAHuIgk) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2a light chain antibody that detects Ig κ light chain in human samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Ig κ light chains are crucial components of immunoglobulins, which play a vital role in the immune response by binding to antigens and facilitating their removal from the body. These light chains are produced through a complex process of gene rearrangement, allowing for a diverse range of antibodies capable of recognizing various pathogens. Anti-Ig κ light chain antibody (mAHuIgk) recognizes one of the two types of light chains found in antibodies, the other being λ. The balance between κ and λ light chains is essential for proper immune function, and abnormalities in this ratio can indicate certain diseases, including multiple myeloma. Ig κ light chain is primarily located in the serum and is secreted by B cells, where κ light chain pairs with heavy chains to form functional antibodies. Understanding the dynamics of Ig κ light chains aids in the study of immune responses and provides insights into the development of therapeutic antibodies and diagnostic tools. Ig κ light chain monoclonal antibody (mAHuIgk) serves as an invaluable tool for researchers investigating the complexities of the immune system and the role of immunoglobulins in health and disease.

The preferred Ig κ light chain antibody is Ig κ light chain Antibody (2G5-14): sc-69921.
