Human IgG1 Allophycocyanin
Human IgG1k from human myeloma plasma is used as a negative control(1,2) for work involving human IgG1 isotype antibodies or recombinant proteins.
The molecular weight of this myeloma derived protein has varied for some lots; running at about 135 kD in SDS-PAGE, compared to the expected 150 kD for normal human IgG1. This was due to a smaller heavy chain, which ran at approximately 40 kD when reduced.
