Quick Overview for Recombinant Blue Fluorescent Protein antibody (AZDye 568) (ABIN6953245)

Target: Blue Fluorescent Protein (BFP)

Antibody Type: Recombinant Antibody

Fragment: single-domain Antibody (sdAb)

Reactivity: Entacmaea quadricolor

Host: Alpaca

Clonality: Monoclonal

Product Details anti-Blue Fluorescent Protein Antibody (AZDye 568)

Expression System: E.coli

Purpose: Camelid sdAb anti-TagBFP conjugated with AZDye 568 (Alexa Fluor 568 equivalent), Clone 1H7

Specificity: Recognizes mTagBFP, mKate, mKate2, mTagRFP, mTagRFP657 and most common fluorescent proteins deriving from Entacmaea quadricolor

Cross-Reactivity (Details): Does not cross-react with common GFP- or dsRed derivatives.

Characteristics: A dye conjugated alpaca single-domain antibody (sdAb), also referred to as VHH or nanobody. It is in the range of 15 kDa and 3 nm in molecular weight and size respectively. This means that sdAbs are ten times lighter and up to 5x smaller than a conventional IgG molecule. They can position a fluorophore up to 20 nm closer to the intended target than using conventional primary-secondary antibody complex detection.

Purification: Produced in: E.coli

Labeling Ratio: Two site-specifically conjugated fluorophores per sdAb.

Application Details

Application Notes: Recommended dilution 1:500

Comment:

Two site-specifically coupled fluorophores per molecule. The reagent can therefore simultaneously target two fluorophores to your protein of interest, which results in enhanced image brightness. Owing to the small size of the sdAb, the distance between the target epitope and each fluorophore is below 4 nm. In comparison to conventional detection systems using conventional antibodies, this sdAb can thus improve the localization accuracy by 10-15 nm. Both features - enhanced brightness and precise fluorophore placement - renders this product superior tools for all microscopy techniques.
