title: Screening cDNA expression libraries with monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies using an amplified biotin-avidin-peroxidase technique.
abstract: A chromogenic method using biotinylated secondary antibodies and peroxidase-coupled avidin for screening cDNA expression libraries is described. This method offers increased sensitivity over peroxidase-coupled secondary antibodies and rapid processing of samples, and avoids preparation and handling of radioactive materials. All materials for the chromogenic assay are available commercially and the method offers a fast and easy way to screen lambda and plasmid expression libraries with mono- and polyclonal antibodies.
