Description: Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH) is one of the most commonly used carriers in the conjugation of peptides for antibody production. Mariculture keyhole limpet hemocyanin (mcKLH) is a hemocyanin from the Concholepas concholepas mollusk with immunogenic properties similar to KLH but is more stable and efficient as a carrier protein for the production of antibodies to haptens and peptides. It contains numerous sites per molecule for effective conjugation of peptides and other antigens using amine-reactive or carboxyl-reactive crosslinkers. mcKLH is currently the industry standard for antibody production against a hapten or peptide. This ReadiLink™ KLH Conjugation kit is primarily optimized for the simple preparation of hapten-carrier conjugates for immunization and antibody production. The ReadiLink™ KLH Conjugation kit is one-step conjugation of a hapten to a carrier protein using the carboxyl-reactive carbodiimide as the crosslinker. The resulting conjugate is used for eliciting an immune response and antibody production against the hapten. The carboxyl-reactive carbodiimide reacts with exposed carboxyl and amino groups on peptides and proteins to form stable bonds. These kits contain mcKLH formulated in buffers compatible with the carboxyl-reactive carbodiimide reactions and desalt spin columns, which offer exceptional protein recovery by simple centrifugation step.
