RFP antibody (Biotin)

Catalog No. ABIN1103973

Product Details anti-RFP Antibody (Biotin)

Target: RFP (Red Fluorescent Protein (RFP))

Reactivity: Discosoma

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This RFP antibody is conjugated to Biotin

Application: Western Blotting (WB), ELISA, Immunohistochemistry (IHC)

Purpose: Anti-RFP / Red Fluorescent Protein Antibody (Biotin)

Specificity: Expect reactivity against RFP and its variants: mCherry, tdTomato, mBanana, mOrange, mPlum, mOrange and mStrawberry. Assay by immunoelectrophoresis resulted in a single precipitin arc against anti-Rabbit Serum and purified and partially purified Red Fluorescent Protein (Discosoma). No reaction was observed against Human, Mouse or Rat serum proteins. ELISA was used to confirm specificity at less than 0.1 % of target signal.

Purification: Affinity purified

Immunogen: The immunogen is a Red Fluorescent Protein (RFP) fusion protein corresponding to the full length amino acid sequence (234aa) derived from the mushroom polyp coral Discosoma.

Type of Immunogen: Fusion protein

Isotype: IgG

Application Details

Application Notes: Approved: ELISA, IHC (1:1000 - 1:5000), WB (1:2000 - 1:10000)

Usage: Polyclonal anti-RFP is designed to detect RFP and its variants. This antibody can be used to detect RFP by ELISA (sandwich or capture) for the direct binding of antigen. Biotin conjugated polyclonal anti-RFP used in a sandwich ELISA with unconjugated anti-RFP is well suited to titrate RFP in solution. The detection antibody conjugated to biotin is subsequently reacted with streptavidin conjugated HRP. Fluorochrome conjugated polyclonal anti-RFP can be used to detect RFP by immunofluorescence microscopy in cell expression systems and can detect RFP containing inserts. Significant amplification of signal is achieved using fluorochrome conjugated polyclonal anti-RFP relative to the fluorescence of RFP alone. For immunoblotting use either alkaline phosphatase or peroxidase conjugated polyclonal anti-RFP to detect RFP or RFP containing proteins on western blots. Optimal titers for applications should be determined by the researcher. The applications listed have been tested for the unconjugated form of this product. Other forms have not been tested.
