What is HRP DAB?
DAB (3,3′-Diaminobenzidine) is a derivative of benzene. In DAB staining, DAB is oxidized by hydrogen peroxide in a reaction typically catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The oxidized DAB forms a brown precipitate, at the location of the HRP, which can be visualized using light microscopy.
What is HRP in immunohistochemistry?
Alkaline phosphatase (AP) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) are the two enzymes used most extensively as labels for protein detection. Antibody–HRP conjugates are superior to antibody–AP conjugates with respect to the specific activities of both the enzyme and antibody.
What does HRP react with?
Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) catalyzes the oxidation of substrates by hydrogen peroxide, resulting in a colored or fluorescent product and the release of light as a by-product of the reaction. HRP functions optimally at a near-neutral pH and can be inhibited by cyanides, sulfides and azides.
What is the substrate for HRP?
Colorimetric substrates for ELISA applications
| Substrate | Enzyme | Absorbance and color |
|---|---|---|
| OPD Substrate | HRP | 490 nm (450 nm) Green (Orange) |
| PNPP (p-Nitrophenyl Phosphate) | ||
| 1-Step PNPP Substrate Solution | AP | 405 nm Yellow |
| PNPP Substrate | AP | 405 nm Yellow |
How do you make a DAB solution?
Preparation of Stock Solutions
- Add 0.1g DAB in 10 ml of distilled water.
- Add 3 to 5 drops of 10N HCL to lower the pH.
- Shake or vortex solution until DAB completely dissolves, about 10 minutes; the solution should turn a light brown color.
- Aliquot the solution and store at -20C.
