Summary >

Description: 

Anti-MBP, AlpSdAbs® VHH(Biotin) is designed for detecting MBP fusion proteins. Anti-MBP, AlpSdAbs® VHH(Biotin) is based on monoclonal, recombinant, single domain antibody to MBP coupled to Biotin, and Anti-MBP, AlpSdAbs® VHH(Biotin) detects the MBP selectively, no reactivity with other proteins.

Background:

MBP is used to increase the solubility of recombinant proteins expressed in E. coli. In these systems, the protein of interest is often expressed as a MBP-fusion protein, preventing aggregation of the protein of interest. The mechanism by which MBP increases solubility is not well understood. In addition, MBP can itself be used as an affinity tag for purification of recombinant proteins.

Dilution factors are presented in the form of a range because the optimal dilution is a function of many factors, such as antigen density, permeability, etc. The actual dilution used must be determined empirically.
