Avidin D is isolated from egg white by a specific affinity system which results in a homogeneous, ultrapure avidin with very low nonspecific binding characteristics. Avidin D is recommended for use in solid-phase assays and many histochemical applications when the technique of sequential addition of reagents (“sandwich” technique) is employed.
