Biotin-KLH is a hapten-carrier protein conjugate formed by coupling Biotin to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH). As a hapten, Biotin alone cannot induce an immune response and must be conjugated to a large molecular protein to become a complete antigen with immunogenicity. Biotin-KLH is generally supplied as a solution, dissolved in 0.01M PBS (pH 7.4), 0.03% Proclin 300 buffer.
Biotin-KLH is a hapten-carrier protein conjugate formed by coupling biotin with keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH). Biotin has a very strong and specific binding affinity for proteins such as Streptavidin and Avidin. Biotin-KLH may be supplied as a lyophilized powder or as a solution. The solution is formulated in 0.01 M PBS (pH 7.4) containing 0.03% Proclin 300.
