Bovine Serum Albumin, 1 X 10 g (A7888-10G)

Bovine serum albumin (BSA) is 66 kDa protein consisting of three domains with two subdomains under each. It is α-helical globular and a non-glycosylated protein. Bovine Serum Albumin has been used: •as a blocking agent in enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)(154) •as a component of Dulbecco PBS medium for preantral follicles culture(155) •as a component of modified Tris-buffered medium (mTBM) for oocyte insemination(156) Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) is a transporter for drugs, hormones and fatty acids. It is a blocking agent used in enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for preventing non-specific binding of antigens and antibodies to the microtiter plates. The cysteine and tyrosine residues of BSA have high affinity for metal binding. •Heat shock fractionated •Suitable for radioimmunoassay (RIA) Prepared using heat shock fractionation May yield an insulin blank of up to 0.1 μunit per mg in certain procedures.
