anti-Taq antibody

 

    anti-Taq antibody is a monoclonal antibody of murine origin that binds Taq polymerase and inhibits its activity efficiently. This antibody is able to bind to Taq DNA Polymerase so strongly that inhibits 95% activity of Polymerase at 55 ℃ . Therefore, nonspecific amplification due to mispriming and/or formation of primer dimers during PCR assembly is prevented. After heated at 95℃ for 30 seconds, the enzyme-antibody complex dissociates, and the anti-Taq antibody becomes nonfunctional. Once the antibody is denatured, the activity of the Taq DNA polymerase is restored and the enzyme functions normally during the PCR reaction. Thus, this product is suitable for all kinds of hot start PCR and quantitative PCR reactions based on Taq DNA polymerase.
