RAB-IP™ Anti- rabbit IgG for IP (HRP Conjugated) secondary antibody is western blotting reagents that enable the trouble-free detection of western blotted target protein bands from upstream IP/CoIP, without interference from denatured IgG (IP primary antibody). This allows to detect the (co-)immunoprecipitated protein without interfering by the IgG heavy (50 kDa) and light chains (25 kDa). In general, this interference tends to originate from traditional secondary antibodies which recognize primary antibodies released with the antigen during the immunoprecipitation procedure or endogenous IgGs from the lysate itself.
RAB-IP™ Anti- rabbit IgG for IP (HRP Conjugated) only recognize native (non-reduced) primary antibodies (from rabbit) and therefore the bands of heavy and light chains is highly minimized, if the immunoprecipitated antigen-antibody complex is fully reduced and denatured before downstream WB.
