Anti-KLH, clone 3B1

KLH antibody is used to detect Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin in ELISA assays. KLH is a copper-containing oxygen carrier occurring freely dissolved in the hemolymph of many mollusks and arthropods. KLH is often used in molecular immunology as a carrier protein conjugated to low molecular weight molecules such as peptides, amino acids, nucleic acids, drugs or toxins to render them more immunogenic due to the size of the conjugate complex and the immunogenicity of KLH. KLH forms a large complex composed of ca.50 kDa subunits.
