Characteristics: Synonyms: rabbit anti-RFP antibody fluorescein conjugation, FITC conjugated rabbit anti-RFP antibody, DsRed, rDsRed, Discosoma sp. Red Fluorescent Protein, Red fluorescent protein drFP583

Purification:

This product was prepared from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography using Red Fluorescent Protein (Discosoma) coupled to agarose beads followed by solid phase adsorption(s) to remove any unwanted reactivities.

Preadsorption: Pre-adsorbed

Immunogen:

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.

Immunogen Type: Recombinant Protein

Isotype: IgG

Labeling Ratio: 3.4

Application Details

Application Notes:

Application Note: Polyclonal anti-RFP is designed to detect RFP and its variants. This fluorescein conjugated antibody has been tested by dot blot and can be used to detect RFP by ELISA (sandwich or capture) for the direct binding of antigen. Significant amplification of signal is achieved using fluorochrome conjugated polyclonal anti-RFP relative to the fluorescence of RFP alone. Optimal titers for applications should be determined by the researcher.

Target Details for RFP

Target: RFP (Red Fluorescent Protein (RFP))

Alternative Name: DsRed

Background: Background: Fluorescent proteins such as Discosoma Red Fluorescent Protein (DsRed) from sea anemone Discosoma sp. mushroom or green fluorescent protein (GFP) from Aequorea victoria jellyfish are widely used in research practice. Fusion RFP and GFP commonly serve as marker for gene expression and protein localization. As DsRed and GFP share only 19 % identity, therefore, in general, anti-GFP antibodies do not recognize DsRed protein and vice versa. Structurally, Discosoma red fluorescent protein is similar to Aequorea green fluorescent protein in terms of its overall fold (a β-can) and chromophore-formation chemistry. However, Discosoma red fluorescent protein undergoes an additional step in the chromophore maturation and obligates tetrameric structure. Rockland offers many controls, monoclonal, and polyclonal antibodies for RFP.
