Blocking protein

Manufactured by Bio-Rad

5% blocking protein is a laboratory reagent used to minimize non-specific binding in various immunoassay and protein detection techniques. It provides a simple and effective way to block non-specific binding sites, helping to improve signal-to-noise ratios and enhance the specificity of your assays.

Detecting NP-specific Antibodies in Sera

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For detecting NP-specific antibodies in sera, wells were coated with 1 μg/mL NP23-BSA or NP2-BSA in coating buffer (Bicarbonate-carbonate buffer, pH 9.6) overnight. Plates were washed twice with washing buffer (0.05% Tween 20 in PBS), blocked with 5% blocking protein (Bio-Rad) at 37°C for 1 h, washed twice, and incubated with indicated sera samples at 37°C for 1.5 h. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary antibodies: anti-mouse IgG1, anti-mouse IgG2b, anti-mouse IgG2c, and anti-mouse IgG3 (all from SouthernBiotech), or anti-mouse IgM (Bethyl laboratories) were developed at 37°C for 1 h after washing with a buffer for four times. The reaction was further developed with tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), then stopped by 2N H2SO4, and read at 450 nm. Sera from influenza-challenged mice were assayed using total viral lysate prepared from stocks of strain Influenza A/PR8/34.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
