| Bioactivity | Streptavidin is a ∼60 kDa homotetramer. Streptavidin binds four molecules of biotin with the highest affinity. The binding affinity of biotin to streptavidin is one of the highest reported for a non-covalent interaction to date, with a KD ∼ 0.01 pM[1]. Streptavidin has an immunosuppressive role[2]. | ||||||
| Invitro | Streptavidin (2-200 μg/mL) significantly suppresses the proliferation of Lewis T cells to WF by 76%-83% compared with untreated responders[1]. Cell Viability Assay[1] Cell Line: | ||||||
