Immunogen: Avidin (Hen Egg White)
Physical State: Lyophilized
Purity and Specificity: Anti-Avidin 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-Rabbit Serum as well as purified and partially purified Avidin [Hen Egg White]. No cross reactivity occurs against Streptavidin.
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.
Low Endotoxin: No
