RFP sdAb - FluoTag-X4 - N0404-At488-L

RFP is a red fluorescent protein tag

 

This product was developed by   

NanoTag-Biotechnologies

Camelid single domain antibodies (sdAbs) consist only of one antigen binding site of an Alpaca heavy chain antibody. With only ~15 kDa, these Tags are about 10-times smaller than conventional IgG antibody molecules.

Camelid single domain antibody

Cat. No.: N0404-At488-L
Amount: 200 µl
Price: $515.00
Cat. No. N0404-At488-L 200 µl purified antibody, lyophilized from PBS, fluorescence-labeled with ATTO® 488.

For many of the fluorescence labeled antibodies conjugated to ATTO® dyes from ATTO-TEC the established fluorescence detection systems can be used.
ATTO® 488: λex 500 nm / λem 520 nm
ATTO® 550: λex 554 nm / λem 576 nm
ATTO® 647N: λex 646 nm / λem 664 nm

ATTO®488, ATTO®647N and ATTO®594 dyes are suitable for Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) microscopy which allows higher resolution imaging compared to confocal laser scanning microscopy.
ATTO®488 and ATTO®594 are also recommended for PALM and dSTORM high resolution microscopy.

Background

Red fluorescent protein RFP is a common fusion protein used in cell biology to follow the localization and expression of proteins of interest. RFP is known for its rapid maturation and high resistance to photobleaching and therefore well suited for multi color imaging.

 

Unlabeled variants and several modifications of sdAbs like biotin, fluorophore or DBCO conjugation are available.

 

In FluoTag®-Q each fluorophore is coupled to exactly one FluoTag, which in turn binds to its target molecule in a monovalent fashion. The high binding affinity and a coupling efficiency of > 95% guarantees a highly linear relation between the number of target molecules and the intensity of fluorescence. This enables a direct count of the target molecule of interest. The fluorophore is located exceptionally close to the recognized epitope (< 1.5 nm), which is ideal for all microscopy techniques.

In FluoTag®-X two fluorophore molecules are site-specifically coupled to each FluoTag molecule. Therefore, the reagent simultaneously targets up to four fluorophores (in X4 variants) to the protein of interest, which ensures extra-bright signals. Owing to the small size of the FluoTags, the distance between the target epitope and each fluorophore is ~ 3 nm.
In comparison to detection systems using conventional antibodies, FluoTag-X can thus improve the localization accuracy by 10-15 nm. Both features - superior brightness and precise fluorophore placement - render the FluoTag-X products excellent tools for all microscopy techniques.
