Screening large numbers of antibodies for the ability to internalize can be prohibitively expensive in both cost and time. The ZAP Antibody Internalization Kit contains all the components needed for three 96-well plates, or 288 tests. The ability to perform a diagnostic screen that is amenable to high-throughput methods, prior to direct conjugation of those […]

Q: I ordered the Streptavidin-ZAP (Cat. #IT-27) and had my antibody biotinylated a couple of months ago. I am ready to begin the first round of experiments to determine the concentration needed for the secondary. How much of the biotinylated antibody should I put to combine with the streptavidin for intravitreal injections? Can you please
