Description

Cross Adsorbed Products Cross reactivity can be a problem when working with primary antibodies sourced from animal species that are evolutionary closely related to the source of tissues or cells that antigens are to be detected in. An example is using a mouse monoclonal on rat tissue. With many monoclonal antibodies of mouse origin and some of rat, and the prevailing animal cells and tissues being used in studies likewise originating from rat or mouse, it often happens that cross reactivity occurs, leading to false positive results. A second problem that derives from cross-reactivity occurs in double labeling, when using primary antibodies from closely related animal sources. With this in mind, Aurion has developed two series of new conjugates: Goat-anti-Mouse IgG (H+L)xRat (cross adsorbed against Rat immunoglobulins) Goat-anti-Rat IgG (H+L)xMouse (cross adsorbed against Mouse immunoglobulins) Secondary antibodies have been thoroughly purified using solid phase technique. These purified antibodies allow detection of antigens with mouse monoclonal antibodies in rat tissue or rat monoclonal antibodies in mouse tissue, without causing interfering binding to either endogenous mouse or rat immunoglobulins. The antibodies can be used for double labeling as well when both mouse and rat primary antibodies are used with other than mouse or rat tissue. Please note: Cross adsorption against closely related species may result in epitope recognition with reduced binding force and lower labeling density. EMS and Aurion would like to inform you that the strongest labeling intensity is usually achieved with the least refined antibodies. Users are advised to take this into account when choosing a product from the Aurion range of anti-mouse or anti-rat conjugates. In case of doubt, our technical staff will gladly assist you in making the best choice. Ultra Small Immuno Gold Reagents Aurion Ultra Small Immunogold Reagents are prepared with subnanometer gold particles. These particles have far less influence on the adsorbed antibodies or detecting molecules, and consequently the conjugates behave as though they are uncoupled. In conjunction with the highly efficient and easy-to-use R-Gent SE-LM and SE-EM silver enhancement reagents, the Ultra Small Immunogold Reagents are the best choice for any application. Introduction Reduction of the gold particle size provides Ultra Small Immunogold Reagents with fundamentally different characteristics when compared with conjugates built around larger particles. While the Conventional Immunogold Reagents can be thought of as particles coated with proteins, Ultra Small Immunogold Reagents are proteins coated with one or more gold particles. With this structure, both the overall size of the conjugates, as well as steric hindrance are decreased. The table below lists a few physical characteristics of gold conjugates.

Particle diameter #Au atoms MWt. (daltons) #particles /ml #Ab /(part.)
0.8 nm 15 3·10^3 5·10^15 0.1-1?
6 nm 6500 1.3·10^6 2.4·10^13 1-2
10 nm 30·10^3 6·10^6 5·10^12 7-12

  The small gold particles also have a tight particle surface curvature which makes it less likely that a structured water dipole layer will build-up around the gold particles. Hence, the hydrodynamic radius of the ultra small gold colloids is reduced. Finally, small gold particles carry less net negative charge; thus, they undergo less charge determined repulsion when approaching the sample surface. Aurion offers Ultra Small Immunogold Reagents with an average gold particle diameter of 0.8 nm or less. These ultra small gold particles can be visualized directly in high angle annular dark-field-scanning TEM. However, the gold signal is normally visualized after increasing the particle diameter with silver enhancement. The reagents can be used in electron and light microscopy as well as in blotting experiments. The universal applicability makes it easy to compare results obtained with different procedures.   Product Description AURION Ultra Small Immunogold Reagents contain 60-80 µg of specific protein/ml for IgG conjugates. F(ab’)2, Fab and biotinylated albumin conjugates contain equimolar amounts of conjugated protein. The average gold cluster diameter is less than 0.8 nm. AURION Ultra Small Immunogold Reagents are used in conjunction with AURION R-Gent SE-EM or SE-LM silver enhancement reagents, developed for electron microscopy and light microscopy/immunoblotting respectively. The reagents are supplied in PBS with 1% Bovine Serum Albumin and 15 mM NaN3. The activity of each lot is determined using a dot-spot test system as described by Moeremans et al., J. Immunol. Methods, 74, (1984), 353. The products are available in two package sizes: Regular package: for 1200 grids or 600 slides Small package: for 480 grids or 240 slides. Application Instructions Detailed information is provided in the package inserts Electron Microscopy Post-embedding Labeling Incubate thin sections by placing grids on drops of reagent arrayed on a sheet of Parafilm™. The use of nickel grids is recommended, especially if silver enhancement procedures are intended. Pre-embedding Labeling Float specimens in dilute reagent on a rocking table. There is a special word on pre-embedding in the “sharing our knowledge” section of this website as well as a Newsletter (free copy on request). The incubation protocol on pre-embedding can be found in the section “the Aurion method” Light Microscopy Slide or Coverslip Labeling Apply a few drops of dilute reagent to cover the specimen.

All antibodies are immuno affinity purified and immuno cross-adsorbed to reduce non-specific interactions. Storage AURION Immunogold Reagents have a guaranteed shelf life of 18 months from the date of quality control analysis. The products should be stored at 4-8°C. Freezing is not recommended.   Conventional Immuno Gold Reagents Conventional Immunogold Reagents are available in four size classes. The monodisperse size population makes the conjugates suited for multiple labeling with no overlap. The Conventional Immunogold Reagents are the classical conjugates in immuno electron microscopy; they are a good choice when the antigen is abundant and the accessibility of the antigen is relatively good. Introduction The conventional labeling approach in transmission and scanning electron microscopy utilizes secondary immunogold reagents based on particles that can be observed without enhancement. These conjugates are suited for single and multiple labeling in electron microscopy, when the number of antigens available for binding is such that a relevant signal can be obtained. The AURION Conventional Immunogold Reagents are built around colloidal gold particles with sizes of 6, 10, 15 or 25 nm. The particle population is monodisperse and thus shows minimal size variation and overlap. Typically, the coefficient of variance for the 6 and 25 nm particle size conjugates is less than 12%, whereas the 10 and 15 nm size conjugates show less then 10% variation. The table below lists a few physical characteristics of gold conjugates:

Particle diameter #Au atoms MWt. (daltons) #particles /ml #Ab /(part.)
6 nm 6500 1.3·10^6 2.4·10^13 1-2
10 nm 30·10^3 6·10^6 5·10^12 7-12
15 nm 100·10^3 20·10^6 1.5·10^12 25-40
25 nm 470·10^3 92·10^6 3.3·10^11 115-180
