BIO-PROBE®BK virus probe

BIO-PROBE ® is a trademark of Enzo Life Sciences, Inc. Several of Enzo’s products and product applications are covered by US and foreign patents and patents pending.

The BK Virus BIO-PROBE ® labeled probe can be used in a variety of hybridization techniques, including Southern blots, Northern blots or dot blots, at concentrations of 50 to 100ng/ml. The probe can also be used for in situ hybridization applications at concentrations of 0.5 to 2.0μg/ml. Biotinylated probes have been shown to hybridize to homologous DNA at the same rate and to the same extent as non-biotinylated probes. The hybridized biotinylated DNA probe can be detected by its interaction with biotin-binding proteins, such as avidin, streptavidin or antibodies coupled to fluorescent dyes or color producing enzymes. Complete kits and protocols are available for in situ hybridization and detection procedures (compatible with Enzo’s POLYVIEW ® PLUS and SAVIEW ® PLUS detection systems for IHC) .
