BUP-BSA is a hapten-carrier protein conjugate formed by coupling Buprenorphine (BUP) to bovine serum albumin (BSA). As a hapten, BUP alone cannot induce an immune response and must be conjugated to a large molecular protein to become a complete antigen with immunogenicity. BUP-BSA may be supplied as a lyophilized powder or as a solution. The solution is prepared in 0.01 M TBS (pH 7.4) buffer at a typical concentration of 1 mg/mL.
