Biotin binding protein conjugated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Used to detect biotin labelled molecules such as nucleic acids, antibodies, and other proteins. Biotinylated antibodies are bound with high affinity by Streptavidin-HRP, enabling colorimetric detection in IHC or chemiluminescent detection in Western blots.
Description
Biotin binding protein conjugated with HRP for colormetric detection in IHC and chemiluminescent detection in WB

HB5255 (Streptavidin-HRP) effectively stains dopaminergic terminals and neurons in paraffin embedded rat brain sections at dilutions as low as 1:2,000 when used in combination with HB11036 (goat anti-rabbit H&L biotin antibody) and HB6605 (rabbit polyclonal anti-tyrosine hydroxylase antibody). Method: Rat brains were dissected and fixed overnight in 4% PFA before then being incubated in 70% ethanol and embedded in paraffin. Deparaffinization was carried out following cutting of the tissue block into 5µm sections. Antigen retrieval was carried out using citrate buffer (HB8687) at 95°C for 20 minutes before sections were blocked in 1% BSA, 10% serum. HB6605 was incubated overnight (4°C) at a 1:500 dilution. Following washing and peroxide blocking with 0.3% H2O2, the sections were incubated in HB11036 (goat anti-rabbit H&L biotin antibody) for 1 hour at room temperature. Following subsequent washes, the sections were incubated in HB5255 (Streptavidin HRP) for 30 minutes at room temperature (dilutions ranging from 1:250 to 1:2,000). The reaction was developed using DAB (HB0687) and counterstained using hematoxylin (HB6189) before sections were dehydrated and mounted using DPX. For more details please see our paraffin embedded immunohistochemistry protocol. Images were taken on a standard widefield microscope using brightfield illumination and either 5x or 20x objectives.

Biological Data
Application notes
Paraffin Embedded Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P): We recommend a starting dilution of 1:500 although this may need further optimisation depending upon the experimental conditions. Please see our paraffin embedded immunohistochemistry protocol for more information. We recommend developing the staining reaction using DAB (HB0687) as this produces a stable precipitate for imaging.
Western Blot (WB): We recommend a starting dilution of 1:20,000 although this may need further optimisation depending upon affinity of the primary antibody and the abundance of the target probed for. We recommend developing using enhanced chemiluminescence (please see our range of ECL substrates). For more information please see our Western Blotting ProtocolÂ
ELISA: We recommend a starting dilution of 1:10,000 although this will need optimising for the specific assay.
