Product overview 

In the demonstration of tissue antigens by Immunohistochemistry, the evaluation of specific staining is sometimes impeded by the presence of endogenous biotin, which may lead to an erroneous interpretation or false positive results. This blocking system is intended for use in immunohistochemical staining to block nonspecific staining due to endogenous biotin during the IHC detection of antigens.

Material safety datasheet (MSDS) for this product:
Endogenous Avidin/Biotin Blocking Kit MSDS

Relevance 

Some cells, and tissues such as kidney, liver and spleen, contain endogenous biotin. Using an avidin-biotin staining method may result in high, non-specific background staining. A significant reduction of this non-specific background can be obtained by pre-treatment of cells/tissues with avidin/biotin blocking reagents prior to the incubation of biotinylated antibody.
