Anti-Streptavidin from Streptomyces avidinii

This product is stable for several weeks at 4° C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use. For extended storage, aliquot contents and freeze at -20° C or below. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Expiration date is one (1) year from date of receipt.

No cross-reactivity with egg white avidin. Affinity (Kd) > 1 x 108 for all MAbs. MAbs bind with high efficiency with different epitopes of streptavidin molecule. MAbs bind to the streptavidin without interfering with the biotin-binding reaction.

MAbs can be used to localize streptavidin, to amplify signals in immunochemistry, immunohistochemistry, ELISA, flow cytometry and immunoblotting. These mouse anti-streptavidin MAbs applied to the ABC complex, previously bound to the second antibody system allow for further enhancement of signal when anti-mouse antibody conjugate is added. MAbs are effective in immunoadsorbtion procedures of streptavidin - biotinylated protein complexes.
