Streptavidin HRP (ready-to-use)

Product details

Streptavidin-HRP for use with biotinylated secondary antibodies during IHC / immunohistochemistry. Optimized, ready-to-use format.

This product was previously called Streptavidin-Peroxidase.

IHC protocol suitable for use with Streptavidin-HRP ab64269:

1. Deparaffinize and rehydrate formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue section.

2. Use appropriate antigen retrieval buffer or enzyme (primary antibody dependent) to treat sections. Wash 3 times in buffer.

3. Add enough hydrogen peroxide blocking solution to cover the sections. Incubate for 10 minutes. Wash 2 times in buffer. If necessary, use avidin biotin blocking.

4. Apply protein block (or normal serum from same species as secondary antibody) and incubate for 5 minutes at room temperature to block nonspecific background staining. Wash once in buffer.

5. Apply primary antibody in antibody diluent and incubate.

6. Wash 4 times in buffer. Incubate slide with biotinylated secondary antibody (or HRP polymer secondary antibody and skip step 7). Wash 4 times in buffer.

7. Apply streptavidin-HRP ab64269 and incubate for 10 minutes at room temperature.

8. Rinse 4 times in buffer. Place slide in DAB substrate or AEC substrate and incubate until desired color is achieved. Rinse 4 times in buffer.

9. Add enough drops of hematoxylin to cover the section. Incubate for 1 minute.

10. Rinse 7-8 times in tap water. Add mounting medium to cover the section.
