Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tonsil stained with biotinylated Lambda Light Chain probe followed by anti-biotin Monoclonal Antibody (SPM375).
It recognizes both the free and protein-conjugated (either soluble or cell bound) form of biotin. This MAb is highly specific to biotin and shows no cross-reaction with other structurally related compounds. It has a very high affinity for biotin and is excellent for use in various amplification techniques. In some applications, localization of biotinylated probes with avidin produces unacceptably high background staining. Anti-biotin antibody may be substituted to decrease this noise.
