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.: N2302-At488-L
Amount: 200 µl
Price: $515.00
Cat. No. N2302-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

Synaptotagmin 1 also known as p65, is an integral membrane glycoprotein of neuronal synaptic vesicles and secretory granules of neuroendocrine cells that is widely (but not ubiquitously) expressed in the central and peripheral nervous system. It has a variable N-terminal domain that is exposed to the lumen of the vesicle and a conserved cytoplasmic tail that contains two Ca2+-binding C2-domains.
Ca2+-binding to synaptotagmin triggers exocytosis of synaptic vesicles, thus linking Ca2+-influx during depolarization to neurotransmitter release.
Lumenal antibodies were used in living neurons to label synaptic vesicles from the outside via endocytotic uptake.

 

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


In FluoTag®-X2 two fluorophore molecules are site-specifically coupled to each FluoTag molecule. Therefore, the reagent simultaneously targets two  fluorophores to the protein of interest, which ensures up to two-fold („2X“)-brighter 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.
