Protein Complex Immunoprecipitation (Co-IP), Immunoprecipitation (IP), Purification (Purif), Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP), RNA-Binding Protein Immunoprecipitation (RIP)
Purpose
RFP-Catcher is based on a high-affinity single-domain antibody (sdAb) that is covalently immobilized on 4% cross-linked agarose beads.
Sample Type
Cell Extracts
Specificity
Recognizes most common red fluorescent proteins like mRFP and derivatives like mCherry, mScarlet-i, tdTomato, dsRed and mOrange.
Cross-Reactivity (Details)
Does not cross-react with GFP or mTagBFP derivatives.
Characteristics
RFP-Catcher is based on a high-affinity single-domain antibody (sdAb) that is covalently immobilized on 4 % cross-linked agarose beads. The innovative, oriented and selective attachment via a flexible linker guarantees a high accessibility of the sdAbs and largely eliminates batch-to-batch variations. Due to the single-chain nature of sdAbs and their covalent attachment, no "leakage" of light and heavy chains from IgGs is observed during elution with SDS sample buffer. RFP-Catcher thus features high affinity and superior capacity for RFP fusion proteins while showing negligible non-specific background. RFP-Catcher immobilizes a wide range of RFP derivatives including mCherry and mScarlet. RFP Selector is compatible not only with physiological buffers but also with high stringency buffers. RFP-Catcher thus provides great freedom to adjust the binding and washing conditions to the experimental needs.
