The subisotype ofab86488 is IgG2a. Thus, the recommended isotype control to be used in flow cytometry would be ab18450.

I hope this information is helpful to you. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any more advice or information.

Thank you for contacting us.

Flow cytometry has not yet been tested with this antibody. Therefore, we do not have data to show if and how well it would work in this application. But for UNTESTED species and/or applications, we have established a testing discount program. Here is a brief description of how it works:

The testing discount program is for customers who like to use an antibody/protein on an untested species/application. You would purchase the antibody at full price, test it and submit an Abreview with your data (positive or negative). On your next order you will receive a discount for ONE antibody at the full price (100%) of the antibody you have tested. The terms and conditions applicable to this offer can be found here: https://www.abcam.com/collaborationdiscount.


As isotype control, I would suggest either

ab18450 (rat IgG2a) or ab18541 (rat IgG2b)

https://www.abcam.com/Rat-IgG2b-kappa-monoclonal-RTK4530-Isotype-control-ab18541.html

I will check with the lab if they have more information about the specific subisotype of this antibody (2a or 2b).



Please let me know if I shall issue a testing discount code for you.
