Application

Acetylated to inactivate nucleases commonly found in BSA. Acetylated BSA should not be used as a protein standard since acetylation of tyrosine residues prevents color development in the Lowry assay and other similar protein determinations.
Albumin from bovine serum has been used for electron and immunoelectron microscopy. It has also been used for isolating and culturing neonatal rat cardiac ventricular myocytes.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Bovine serum albumin also referred to as BSA or Fraction V is a protein isolated from cows. BSA can block vacant binding sites in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in both poly-l-lysine (PLL)-treated and non-treated microwells. It can also trigger insulin dependent diabetes mellitus in humans.

Preparation Note

Albumin from bovine serum is slightly soluble in water.
from BSA by acetylation in order to inactivate nucleases.

Cow's milk has been implicated as a possible trigger of the autoimmune response that destroys pancreatic beta cells in genetically susceptible hosts, thus causing diabetes mellitus. Studies in animals have suggested that bovine serum albumin (BSA) is the milk protein

ELISA provides a highly sensitive procedure for quantitating antigens and antibodies. In that assay, microwells are coated initially with a specific ligand and then saturated with inert molecules to minimize nonspecific background. Coating can be improved by pretreating the microwells
