BackgroundThe reagents were evaluated for potency, purity and specificity using most or all of the following techniques: immunoelectrophoresis, cross-immunoelectrophoresis, single radial immunodiffusion (Ouchterlony), block titration, ELISA, immunoblotting and enzyme inhibition. This product is intended for use in precipitating and non-precipitating antibody-binding assays (such as e.g., ELISA and Western blotting and immunofluorescence or histochemical techniques).

Source beta-Hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase isolated and purified from Rhodopseudomonas spheroides. Freund’s complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.

ProductBiotin-coupled hyperimmune rabbit IgG lyophilised from a solution in phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2). No preservative added, as it may interfere with the antibody activity. No foreign protein added. It is reconstituted by adding 1.0 ml sterile distilled water, spun down to remove insoluble particles, divided into small aliquots, frozen and stored at or below -20°C.

Product Form: Biotin

Formulation: Biotin-coupled hyperimmune rabbit IgG lyophilised from a solution in phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2). No preservative added, as it may interfere with the antibody activity. No foreign protein added.

SpecificityBiotin-conjugated IgG fraction of polyclonal Rabbit antiSerum to beta-hydroxybutyRate dehydrogenase from Rhodopseudomonas spheroides.

Species Reactivity: Cross-reactivities against enzymes of other sources may occur but have not been determined.

ApplicationsELISA,Immunocytochemistry,Immunohistochemistry (paraffin),Dot blot,Immunoblotting.

StorageThe lyophilised conjugate is shipped at ambient temperature and may be stored at +4°C; prolonged storage at or below -20°C.Prior to use, an aliquot is thawed slowly at ambient temperature, spun down again and used to prepare working dilutions by adding sterile phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2). Repeated thawing and freezing should be avoided. Working dilutions should be stored at +4°C, not refrozen, and preferably used the same day. If a slight precipitation occurs upon storage, this should be removed by centrifugation. It will not affect the performance of the product.
