F(ab) fragment produced from goat antibody, affinity purified
Cat. #: 2116-250UG
Applications
Suitable for immunofluorescence microscopy and related fluorescence-based assays. The monovalent F(ab) format is smaller than intact IgG and lacks the Fc region, which can improve access to sterically restricted targets and reduce Fc receptor-mediated interactions.
Goat Anti-Mouse IgG F(ab) ATTO594 (H+L) is a fluorescent, monovalent secondary-antibody fragment for detecting mouse primary antibodies. The F(ab) fragment is generated from affinity-purified goat anti-mouse IgG by papain cleavage and purified by ion-exchange chromatography.
Because the fragment lacks the Fc region, it can reduce Fc receptor-mediated interactions. Its smaller molecular size compared with intact IgG can also be advantageous for sterically restricted epitopes. As a monovalent fragment, F(ab) does not crosslink targets in the same manner as intact IgG or divalent F(ab′)2 fragments.
The fragment is conjugated to ATTO594, with an absorption maximum at 603 nm and a fluorescence maximum at 626 nm. Following conjugation, gel filtration removes unbound dye and low-molecular-weight reaction components.

IgG-derived F(ab) fragment
Purification notes
Parent antibody affinity purified; F(ab) generated by papain cleavage and purified by ion-exchange chromatography (IEX). Following conjugation to ATTO594, the fragment is further purified by gel filtration.
Storage instructions
After reconstitution, store at 2–8 °C for up to three months. For extended storage, aliquot and store at −20 °C; avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Protect the fluorescent conjugate from light.
Shipping conditions
Shipped at ambient temperature.
