Kappa Light Chain Antibody

• Catalog Number: orb606597
• Category: Antibodies
• Description: This mAb is specific to kappa light chain of immunoglobulin and shows no cross-reaction with lambda light chain or any of the five heavy chains. In mammals, the two light chains in an antibody are always identical, with only one type of light chain, kappa or lambda. The ratio of Kappa to Lambda is 70:30. However, with the occurrence of multiple myeloma or other B-cell malignancies this ratio is disturbed. Antibody to the kappa light chain is reportedly useful in the identification of leukemias, plasmacytomas, and certain non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. Demonstration of clonality in lymphoid infiltrates indicates that the infiltrate is malignant.

IHC testing of FFPE human tonsil tissue with recombinant Kappa Light Chain antibody (clone rL1C1). Required HIER: boil tissue sections in pH9 10mM Tris with 1mM EDTA for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 min.

SDS-PAGE analysis of purified, BSA-free recombinant Kappa Light Chain antibody (clone rL1C1) as confirmation of integrity and purity.

Analysis of HuProt (TM) microarray containing more than 19, 000 full-length human proteins using recombinant Kappa Light Chain antibody (clone rL1C1). These results demonstrate the foremost specificity of the rL1C1 mAb. Z- and S- score: The Z-score represents the strength of a signal that an antibody (in combination with a fluorescently-tagged anti-IgG secondary Ab) produces when binding to a particular protein on the HuProt (TM) array. Z-scores are described in units of standard deviations (SD's) above the mean value of all signals generated on that array. If the targets on the HuProt (TM) are arranged in descending order of the Z-score, the S-score is the difference (also in units of SD's) between the Z-scores. The S-score therefore represents the relative target specificity of an Ab to its intended target.
