General description
ExtrAvidin is a chemically modified protein purified from egg whites.
The extravidin-R-phycoerythrin protein can be conjugated with fluorescein-labelled arylacetamide, a κ opioid ligand and biotin-conjugated anti-fluorescein IgG to identify the subpopulations of thymocytes that express κ opioid receptor. This product has shown specificity for rabbit anti-avidin in immunoelectrophoresis analysis.

This product has shown specificity for rabbit anti-avidin in immunoelectrophoresis analysis.
ExtrAvidin, a uniquely modified avidin reagent, combines the high specific activity and sensitivity of avidin with the low background staining of streptavidin. Avidin consists of four identical subunits, each containing a single biotin binding site.
Immunogen
Thymocytes present in C57BL mice.
Application
ExtrAvidin®-R-Phycoerythrin has been used
- In flow cytometric analysis to confirm membrane expression of ncamp-1 (cationic oligodeoxynucleotide binding protein).
- In indirect immunofluorescence.
- In Western blotting.
The ExtrAvidin-R-Phycoerythrin (PE) conjugate may be used in conjunction with biotinylated reagents in the avidin/biotin labeling system in flow cytometry.
Physical form
Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% bovine serum albumin and 15 mM sodium azide

A method to visualize the kappa opioid receptor is described that uses a high-affinity fluorescein-conjugated opioid ligand and indirect immunofluorescence with the phycoerythrin fluorophore to amplify the signal. The mouse thymoma cell line R1E/TL8x.1.G1.OUAr.1 (R1EGO), which expresses the kappa 1

Recent studies have shown kappa opioid receptor labeling on the R1EGO thymoma cell line by indirect immunofluorescence and flow cytometric analysis. The present study used a fluorescein-labeled arylacetamide (FITC-AA), a kappa opioid ligand, in conjunction with biotin-conjugated anti-fluorescein IgG and
