General description

Avidin is a glycoprotein (68 kDa) composed of four identical polypeptides chains isolated from egg whites.Monoclonal Anti-Avidin (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from an immunized mouse.

The antibody binds to the avidin molecule without interfering with the biotin-binding reaction. The product reacts specifically with egg white avidin, ExtrAvidin and their complexes formed with biotin. The antibody shows no cross-reaction with streptavidin.

Immunogen

Purified egg white avidin.

Physical form
