ABSTRACT:
An aqueous composition suitable for use when performing immunological procedures. The composition includes at least one biological buffer, dithiothreitol (alternatively referred to herein as "DTT"), and ethylene glycol. The composition can also include at least one biological detergent, at least one source of positive and negative counterions, e.g., salt, and at least one viscosity modifier, e.g., sugar. The buffer also can include at least one preservative, such as sodium azide. The pH of the composition preferably ranges from about 6.4 to 7.2. A kit containing the composition is also disclosed.
