:AP or streptavidin::HRP to

>I have been doing some biotinylation of antibodies. The biotinylation
has been working. To check the available biotins, as opposed to the
total number of biotins bound Pearce has a relitivly cheap and very
easy HABA kit avalilable. To modify the kit for avaliable biotins
do not degrade your protein of interest. This way only the available
biotins react. Hope this is of use. Mick
