![Immunohistochemistry protocol - Avidin/Biotin Method (ABC)](https://www.clinisciences.com/en/upload/thumbs/abc-4-etjwre-48be9e.png)
The principle of ABC detection kits is based on the affinity of avidin (or streptavidin) for biotin. Indeed, abbreviation ABC stands for Avidin / Biotin Complex.
In general, the ABC detection kits are composed of:
- A biotinylated secondary antibody
- An Avidin / Enzyme Complex
The kits may or may not contain the blocking and dilution buffers and the substrate depending on the formats.
