Boehringer also sells anti-digoxigenin HRP for about the same price (I 
think) as the alk. phos. conjugate.  Be forewarned: Product has a short
storage time - only about 6-12 months in the fridge.  Otherwise it works 
great.  Signal can also be amplified with other antibodies, but I'll leave
those details to you. :)
