Description

Avidin from Egg White, 10-15 u/mg solid, White Crystalline Powder

• Avidin is useful in a biotin-avidin system for labeling biomolecules for receptor studies, immunoassays and immunohistological methods.
• Avidin egg white was used in an assay using functionalized xenon as a biosensor to detect biotin-avidin binding.
• Egg white was used at 80 nmol.
• Egg white avidin has been used as a cross-linker for biotin-conjugated antibodies.
• The product has also been used as a blocking agent in ELISA applications.
• Avidin is a basic glycoprotein isolated from raw egg white.
• It exhibits high binding affinity for biotin and is capable of producing biotin deficiency in rats and chicks.
• It also occurs in the white portion of eggs and the oviducts of birds and amphibia.
• It is destroyed by cooking or irradiation.
• One unit will bind 1 ug of D-biotin at pH 8.9.
