Q: Can Fab-ZAP detect the targeted antibody still in supernatant? A: As long as there is nothing in the supernatant inhibiting the reactivity of Fab-ZAP, it should work. We do not typically recommend this, but in theory it should be possible. I would be cautious of this approach based off of the presumed lack of […]

Q: Instead of performing the reaction between our biotinylated peptide and Streptavidin-ZAP at the initially provided concentration of Strep-ZAP (20 µM), is it OK if the reaction is done at a 10-fold more dilute concentration? This request is to ensure we don’t have any solubility problems with our very tricky lipophilic peptide. Our protocol would

Q: We have your ZAP internalization kit and I have a question regarding the concentrations used in the cytotoxicity assay. The Hum-ZAP used in the assay (mentioned in the PDF protocol) is 4.5 nM and the target agent was 10 nM to 1 fM. Is there a stoichiometric relation between Hum-ZAP and the target agent
