Tested for avidity with known incomplete antibody (not saline agglutinable).

Application

Bovine Serum Albumin solution has been used in the blocking of nonspecific binding in brain sections prior to light microscopy studies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) is a transporter for drugs, hormones and fatty acids. It is a crucial component of the cell culture media and favors embryonic stem cells (hESC) differentiation. BSA displays high solubility and is exploited in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry.It is used as a blocking agent in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

General description

Bovine serum albumin (BSA) belongs to the serum albumin family. It comprises three domains with two sub-domains under each. It is an α-helical, globular and non-glycosylated protein. BSA has 17-disulfide bonds.
