| Application: | IgM, Kappa from murine myeloma has been used in: • sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) • flow cytometry • dot-immunobinding assay |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | IgM plays a key role in the engulfing of apoptotic cells. A reduction in serum IgM levels leads to increased autoimmune response and higher risk for infections. IgM displays polyreactive and autoreactive functionality. It plays a key role in tissue homeostasis by mediating clearance of tissue based molecules. IgM has sites for N-linked glycosylation, with sugars namely, mannose, galactose, N-acetyl glucosamine and sialic acid. IgM linked agarose resins have been tested for efficient conjugate binding. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | The TEPC 183 tumor line is pristine-induced plasmacytoma-originated and carried subcutaneously in BALB/c mice. The hapten binding specificity of the TEPC 183 line has not been determined. It specifically recognizes mouse IgM. Identity and purity of the immunoglobulin is established by immunoelectrophoresis. |

| General description: | Determined by the absorbance at 280 nm (E1%/280 = 11.8). Each vial contains at least 1 mg of purified myeloma protein. |
| General description: | IgM antibodies are present as pentamers in the serum and are produced in response to antigens IgM, κ from murine myeloma is produced by TEPC 183 tumor line introduced subcutaneously in BALB/c mice. |
| General description: | IgM is a highly conserved antibody in vertebrates and is expressed early during immune response. It is secreted by peritoneal B cells. |
