General description

Donkey serum is pooled from a normal donor herd. In immunoassays, normal donkey serum can serve as a blocking agent and a control. It is used as a blocking agent in various studies for immunohistochemistry and immunocytochemistry, ranging from 5% to 20%.[1]

Application

Donkey serum has been used:
  • as a component in blocking buffer for immunofluorescence[2]
  • in phosphate buffer saline (PBS) as a blocking agent[2]
  • as a blocking agent in frozen immunocytochemistry and immunohistochemistry[3]
  • to prevent nonspecific binding in parvalbumin immunohistochemistry[4]

  2. where can I find the protocol to reconstitute this donkey serum

    1 answer
    1. A protocol is not associated with this product. A preservative is added to this serum, making it unsuitable for cell culture. However, in blocking applications, it is typically used at a concentration of 5% - 20%. It may be helpful to view the 'Peer Reviewed Papers' and 'Protocols and Articles' section of the product detail page.

  3. Is heat inactivation required for D9663 in immunofluorescence (IF)? I found information stating that it is not necessary for immunohistochemistry (IHC). If this applies to IF as well, what is the reason behind it?

    1 answer
    1. Donkey serum does not require heat inactivation for immunofluorescence. It is important to note that this is not a sterile product. While the lab may have routinely heat inactivated their serums for immunofluorescence, this is likely for worker safety rather than a specific requirement for performing immunofluorescence.

  4. Does donkey serum D9663-10ML require heat inactivation prior to immunohistochemical assay?

    1 answer
    1. There is no need to heat inactivate donkey serum for blocking purposes.
