Protein

Biotin-Actin (biotinylated α-skeletal muscle actin)

Origin

Skeletal muscle alpha actin, rabbit

Molecular mass

42kDa

Toolkit description

The Actin-Toolkit ELISA is used to analyze ligand interactions with G-actin or

F-actin by enzyme linked immunosorbant assay. Purified proteins or other ligands,

semi purified ligands or crude extracts can be used for the assays.

Thus the Toolkit is suited for quantitative analyses or to determine actin-binding

at various concentrations e.g. with crude extracts.

Two types of ELISA assay are utilized in the assays:

1. Direct ELISA.: the ligand is coated to the surface of the plate and either

G-Biotin-actin or F-biotin actin is used to directly interact with the ligand.

To detect Biotin-Actin successfully bound to the coated ligand, either

a anti-biotin antibodies (HRP or alk. Phosphatase conjugated) or e.g. Streptavidin

(HRP or alk Phosphatase conjugated) is used.

2. Sandwich ELISA.: the ligand is coated to the surface of the plate and either

G-Biotin-actin or F-actin is used to directly interact with the ligand. To detect

Actin successfully bound to the coated ligand the anti-actin antibody

(clone2G2) is used to be detected by secondary antibodies (mouse anti IgG or

Mouse anti IgM - HRP or alk. Phosphatase conjugated) is used. Anti-Actin is an

IgM and thus able to efficiently bind to five actin. This results in an amplification of

the signal obtained by secondary antibodies.

The kit contains Biotin-Actin, Actin and monoclonal anti-Actin, buffers for ELISA

keeping actin functional and preventing denaturing of actin. A handbood introduces

and guides through the experimental work with actin.
