Recombinant Anti-Kappa antibody is designed to detect the kappa light chain of immunoglobulins, one of the two types of light chains paired with heavy chains to form complete antibodies. Kappa chains are encoded by the IGKC gene and are found in roughly two thirds of human immunoglobulins. Because of their prevalence, kappa chains are widely studied in immunology, hematology, and diagnostic pathology.
Each immunoglobulin molecule consists of two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains, either kappa or lambda. The light chain contributes to antigen binding through its variable region, while its constant region provides structural support. The balance of kappa and lambda chains is clinically relevant, as skewed ratios can signal lymphoproliferative disorders. Thus, the ability to reliably detect kappa light chains is valuable in both research and diagnostics.
The Recombinant Anti-Kappa antibody clone IGKC/1999R provides precise and reproducible detection of kappa chains. Recombinant production eliminates variability across batches, ensuring dependable results. Clone IGKC/1999R has been applied in immunology research to study antibody composition, in hematology to investigate plasma cell disorders, and in oncology to monitor B cell malignancies. Its robust specificity supports a range of experimental systems.
Research with clone IGKC/1999R has clarified how immunoglobulin light chain ratios inform disease states. Increased production of either kappa or lambda chains is associated with multiple myeloma and related conditions. This antibody provides a reliable means of detecting kappa chains in cells and tissues, enabling better characterization of immune responses and pathological changes.
NSJ Bioreagents supplies this Recombinant Anti-Kappa antibody to support investigations into immunoglobulin structure and disease. The kappa light chain is also referenced as IGKC antibody, immunoglobulin kappa chain antibody, antibody light chain kappa antibody, and kappa immunoglobulin protein antibody, illustrating the varied terminology used in scientific literature.
The optimal dilution of the recombinant anti-Kappa antibody for each application should be determined by the researcher.
1. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.
Recombinant human Ig kappa chain was used as the immunogen for this recombinant anti-Kappa antibody.
Store the recombinant anti-Kappa antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
