Avidin has an extraordinary affinity for the small molecule vitamin biotin. Covalently coupling biotin or avidin to peroxidase molecules does not interfere with their normal biochemical functions. The avidin or biotin molecules, either peroxidase conjugated or unconjugated, can be brought to the antigen sites by means of an antiavidin antibody. Several immunohistochemical staining techniques based on this principal were described. The method utilizing an avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex was more sensitive than the unlabeled antibody (PAP) method. This method involved 4 sequential staining procedures: primary antibody (goat anti-human antigen); secondary antibody (rabbit antigoat IgG) added in relative excess; goat antiavidin antibody; avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex. The applications of this technique [as for IgG plasma cell detection in human chronic thyroiditis] are discussed.
