anti-Chicken IgY sdAb - FluoTag-X2 - N0702-AF568-S

A monovalent single domain secondary antibody specific for chicken IgY

 

This product was developed by   

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.: N0702-AF568-S
Amount: 500 µl
Price: $250.00
Cat. No. N0702-AF568-S 500 µl purified antibody, lyophilized from PBS, fluorescence-labeled with AZdye 568.

Fluorescence labeled antibodies conjugated to Alexa® dyes are well suited for standard epi-fluorescence setups and confocal microscopy.

AZdye® 568: λex 568 nm / λem 665 nm (identical to Alexa® 568)
Alexa® 647: λex 650 nm / λem 665 nm

Albumin was added for stabilization. For reconstitution add 500 µl H2O. Either add 1:1 (v/v) glycerol, then aliquot and store at -20°C until use, or store aliquots at -80°C without additives.
Reconstitute immediately upon receipt! Avoid bright light when working with the antibody to minimize photo bleeching of the fluorescent dye.
Applications
 
WB: yes
ICC: yes
IHC: yes
FACS: yes

Western blot (WB); separation of proteins by PAGE and subsequent transfer to a membrane. Detection of target molecules is carried out with antibodies. Some antibodies require special sample preparation steps. For details, please refer to the “Remarks” section.

Immunocytochemistry (ICC) on 4% PFA fixed cells. Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence. Some antibodies require special fixation methods. For details, please refer to the “Remarks” section.

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) on 4% PFA perfusion fixed tissue with 24h PFA post fixation. Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence or a chromogenic substrate. Some antibodies require special fixation methods or antigen retrieval steps. For details, please refer to the ”Remarks” section.

Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS); usually cells are fluorescently labeled with antibodies against cell-surface antigens followed by cell-sorter analysis.

Background

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

 

IgY is the major immunoglobulin found in chicken eggs. FluoTag®-X2 anti-chicken is a species-specific FluoTag®-X2 directed against immunoglobulin IgY from chicken.
In FluoTag®-X2, two fluorophore molecules are coupled site-specifically to one individual FluoTag® molecule. Therefore, the reagent targets four fluorophores to your primary chicken antibody.
Due to the monovalent binding, there are no primary and secondary antibody clusters formed, leading to better epitope accessibility and a more precise localization.
