The biotinylated rabbit anti-sheep IgG secondary antibody is used in an avidin-biotin or streptavidin-biotin detection system. These antibodies can be used for tissue and cell staining, ELISAs, and blots.
Unit Size | 1.5 mg |
---|---|
Applications | Immunohistochemistry / Immunocytochemistry, Immunofluorescence, In situ hybridization, Blotting Applications, Elispot, ELISAs |
Concentration | 1.5 mg active conjugate/ml |
Recommended Storage | 2-8 °C; Store frozen for long term storage |
Solution | 10 mM sodium phosphate, pH 7.8, 0.15 M NaCl, 0.08% sodium azide, 3 mg/ml bovine serum albumin. |
Recommended Usage | The recommended concentration range for use is 2-10 µg/ml. If this biotinylated antibody is to be used in tissues, which may contain cross-reacting endogenous immunoglobulins, dilution of this biotinylated antibody may be made in buffers containing 2% normal serum from the same species as the tissue. Important Note: The use of bovine products such as casein, serum, albumin or non-fat dry milk as blocking agents in ELISA or blot assays may produce a high background due to cross-reactivity of anti-sheep IgG with bovine immunoglobulins that may be present. If this antibody is to be used in these applications, blocking with Animal-Free Blocker™ solution (Cat. No. SP-5030) is recommended. Note:This product is at the same concentration as that provided in the VECTASTAIN® ABC kits. |

Vector Laboratories affinity-purified antibodies are of unmatched quality. These antibodies are prepared using proprietary immunization schedules that produce high affinity antibodies. The antibodies are then purified by affinity chromatography, and cross-reactivities that are likely to interfere with specific labeling are removed by solid phase adsorption techniques. The biotinylated secondary antibodies are conjugated to ensure the maximum degree of labeling without compromising the specificity or affinity of the antibody.
With some exceptions the recommended dilution for most applications is 1:200.
The use of bovine products such as casein, serum, albumin or non-fat dry milk as blocking agents in ELISA or blot assays may produce a high background due to cross-reactivity of this antibody with bovine immunoglobulins that may be present. If this antibody is to be used in these applications, blocking with Animal-Free Blocker® solution (Cat. No. SP-5030) is recommended.
