General description
Streptavidin is a homotetramer protein. One molecule of streptavidin binds four molecules of biotin by a non-covalent interaction that is essentially irreversible. Streptavidin has a high affinity for biotin and is extensively used as a labeling tool and for studies involving binding proteins.
Application
Streptavidin−Cy3™ from Streptomyces avidinii has been used:
- in double immunofluorescence staining to detect biotinylated lectin
- for insulin and C-peptide staining in immunofluorescence analysis
- in double immunofluorescence to verify the presence of cells filled with biocytin
- in conjunction with biotinylated antibodies in immunohistochemistry and immunocytochemistry
- with the traditional rhodamine filter arrangements due to the spectral overlap
