Description: The monoclonal antibody TB28-2 recognizes the kappa light chain of human immunoglobulin. Approximately 22-kDa, the Ig kappa chain is comprised of one variable and one constant region. Two kappa chains together with the heavy chain comprise the whole Ig structure. Expression of Ig kappa is typically found on more than half of B lymphocytes.
