Immobilized Streptavidin (Bead Conjugate) #3419

Protocols

Description

Immobilized Streptavidin (Bead Conjugate) is useful for the precipitation of biotinylated proteins (1,2). Recombinant streptavidin is immobilized via covalent binding of primary amino groups to N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS)-activated sepharose beads.

Immunoprecipitation of extracts from COS cells transfected with Myc-Chorionic Somatomammotropin Hormone-Like 1 (CSL) protein using Myc-Tag (9B11) Mouse mAb (Biotinylated) #2084 and Immobilized Streptavidin (Bead Conjugate) (Lane 1) shows immunocomplexes pulled down using Immobilized Streptavidin (Bead Conjugate). Lysate and beads alone are shown in lane 2 indicating the specificity of the streptavidin beads. Western blotting was performed using Myc-Tag (9B11) Mouse mAb (HRP Conjugate) #2040.

Directions for Use

Add 10 μl of well-vortexed beads to 200 μl of cell lysate at 1 mg/ml pre-incubated with biotinylated primary antibody. See protocol for more details.

Background

Streptavidin is a 53,000 dalton tetrameric protein purified from the bacterium Streptomyces avidinii (3). Each subunit binds to biotin with extremely high affinity. Because of its strong non-covalent interaction with biotin, streptavidin can be used to isolate biotinylated proteins (1,2).
