Human κ light chains are antibody fragments that regulate immunological responses in cells. Increased expression of κ light chains has been linked to chronic lymphocytic leukemia . The variable fragment of the κ light chain gene has also been associated with vaccine-induced antibody response to the polysaccharide coat in Haemophilus influenzae type b . Anti-Human κ Light Chains (Bound and Free-Alkaline Phosphatase antibody is specific for human κ light chain when tested against human IgA, IgG, IgM, IgGλ, IgAλ, IgMλ, Bence Jones κ and λ myeloma proteins.

Purified Bence Jones κ light chain

Anti-Human κ Light Chains (Bound and Free)-Alkaline Phosphatase antibody is suitable for use in ELISA. The product can also be used for dot blot (1:30,000) and immunohistochemistry (1:50 using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections).

Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.
Immunofluorescence (1 paper)

Mouse-Human chimeric IgG′s specific for Pseudomonas aeruginosa serogroup 06 lipopolysaccharide were identified by ELISA in transfected CHO cell supernatants using Alkaline phosphatase conjugated goat anti-Human Kappa Light chains.

Solution in 0.05 M Tris buffer, pH 8.0, containing 1 mM MgCl₂, 1% bovine serum albumin, 50% glycerol and 15 mM sodium azide.
