AVD Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Specifications

Product Data
Applications	FC, IF, WB
Recommend Dilution	WB: >1:1,000 IF: User Optimized FC: User Optimized FLISA: >1:1,000
Host	Rabbit
Clonality	Polyclonal
Immunogen	Avidin (Hen Egg White)
Specificity	Anti-Avidin Antibody Fluorescein Conjugated is an IgG fraction antibody purified from monospecific antiserum by a multi-step process which includes delipidation, salt fractionation and ion exchange chromatography followed by extensive dialysis against the buffer stated above.  Assay by immunoelectrophoresis resulted in a single precipitin arc against anti-fluorescein, anti-Rabbit Serum and Avidin.
Formulation	0.02 M Potassium Phosphate, 0.15 M Sodium Chloride, pH 7.2
Concentration	1.0 mg/mL - lot specific
Conjugation	FITC
Storage Condition	Store vial at -20° C or below prior to opening. This vial contains a relatively low volume of reagent (25 µL). To minimize loss of volume dilute 1:10 by adding 225 µL of the buffer stated above directly to the vial. Recap, mix thoroughly and briefly centrifuge to collect the volume at the bottom of the vial. Use this intermediate dilution when calculating final dilutions as recommended below. Store the vial at -20°C or below after dilution. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing.
Database Link	UniProt ID P02701
Background	Avidin is a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of approximately 62.4 kDa. Avidin is a biotin binding protein that shows high sequence homology in birds, reptiles and amphibians. Hen egg white avidin is a tetrameric protein composed of four identical subunits, each with the ability to bind biotin with high affinity and specificity (Kd ~ 1015 M). In biotechnology, the functional consequence of tetrameric biotin binding is signal amplification. Biotin-avidin bridging is a great way to increase signal strength while maintaining specificity. The sequence of avidin only shows 30% homology with streptavidin, and anti-avidin and anti-streptavidin antibodies are not immunologically cross reactive.
Synonyms	rabbit anti-Avidin Antibody fluorescein Conjugation, FITC conjugated rabbit anti-Avidin antibody, Avidin fluorescein, Anti-Avidin FITC Antibody, egg ehite
Note	Rabbit Anti-Avidin Fluorescein conjugate has been tested by dot blot and is designed for immunofluorescence microscopy, fluorescence based plate assays (FLISA) and fluorescent western blotting. This product is also suitable for multiplex analysis, including multicolor imaging, utilizing various commercial platforms.
