Conjugation is determined at pH 13 by measuring PC absorbance at 475nm, using the extinction coefficient of PC= 12.6 x 10E+03.
The conjugation ratio is given as a molar ratio of PC to KLH assuming the molecular weight of KLH is 100,000.
Store solution in aliquots at +5°C. KLH may come out of solution if frozen. Protect from light. This product can be dissolved in PBS buffer, water or other neutral buffers at a concentration of 1mg/mL. Product may precipitate when stored in solution, therefore it is recommended to centrifuge the solutions briefly before use and use only the supernatant.

I tried to dissolve it into PBS as 1mg/mL, but it did not completely dissolved. Not sure what's happened?

Thank you for your question. This product can be dissolved in PBS buffer, water or other neutral buffers at a concentration of 1mg/mL. Here is the recommended PBS formulation: 8 g NaCl 0.2 g KCl 0.2 g potassium di-hydrogen phosphate (KH2PO4) 1.15 g di-sodium hydrogen phosphate (Na2HPO4) , add to 1 L of water.

Hi, I am puzzled about the chemistry of PC-KLH, and how you make it. The formulas and its name are for a phosphorylcholine conjugate. What is the agent p-DPPC that is used? Is this dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine? Is PC phospholipid?

Thank you for your question. The conjugation ratio to protein for our most recent lot is 12 PC/KLH (Phosphorylcholine hapten is conjugated to KLH protein by use of p-diazonium phenylphosphorylcholine). Unfortunately our synthesis methods are proprietary.
