Peroxidase Conjugated anti-Rabbit IgG SABC Kit

SABC (StreptAvidin-Biotin Complex) is specially designed for displaying the distribution of antigens in tissues and cells in immunochemistry and other immunodetection analyses. Streptavidin is a 47 KDa protein purified from the bacterium Streptomyces avidinii. Streptavidin has extraordinarily strong affinity to biotin molecules. The dissociation constant (Kd) of the biotin-streptavidin complex is on the order of ~10-15 mol/L, a million times higher than the typical affinity between antigens and their antibodies. Streptavidin has very low non-specific binding to tissues and cells, due to its nearly neutral isoelectric point (IP=6.0~6.5) . Therefore, immunohistochemical analyses based on streptavidin-biotin complex has extremely low background. Furthermore, this kit has high sensitivity because each complex it generates has a large number of peroxidase and streptavidin molecules. In brief, SABC offers high specificity, low background and ease-of-use.
