Streptavidin is a 53kD homotetramer isolated from Streptomyces avidinii for use in isolation and detection bioassays. Each streptavidin subunit forms high affinity non-covalent bonds with the vitamin biotin. Because of its strong non-covalent interaction with biotin, streptavidin can be used to detect and isolate biotinylated proteins.
Chemiluminescent detection systems have emerged as the best all-around detection method for use with western blots and ELISA. These detection assays eliminate the hazards associated with radioactive materials and toxic chromogenic substrates. The speed and sensitivity of these methods are unequalled by traditional alternatives. Streptavidin-HRP is used with biotinylated proteins and specific chemiluminescent substrates to generate light signal. Streptavidin-HRP conjugates have a very high turnover rate, coupling high sensitivity with short reaction times.
Applications:Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilutions:Western Blot: 1:2000. Dilute Streptavidin-HRP in 5% nonfat dry milk, 1X TBS, 0.1% Tween 20. Incubate for 1 hour at room temperature shaking
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
