Binding Activity: at least 10 μg biotin per mg
Application
ExtrAvidin® has been used to tetramerize aliquots to generate HLA-A2 tetramers.
Biochem/physiol Actions
ExtrAvidin® is prepared from egg white avidin. It is a tetrameric protein containing four high affinity binding sites for biotin. It combines the high specific activity of avidin with the low background staining of streptavidin, a biotin binding protein produced by the bacteria Streptomyces avidinii. It binds biotin with the high affinity of egg white avidin, however, it does not exhibit the unwanted non-specific binding reported for egg white avidin at physiological pH, such as the staining of mast cells.
Other Notes
A modified form of affinity purified egg white avidin.

The tumor suppressor p53 is widely dysregulated in cancer and represents an attractive target for immunotherapy. Because of its intracellular localization, p53 is inaccessible to classical therapeutic monoclonal antibodies, an increasingly successful class of anticancer drugs. However, peptides derived from
