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.
Cat. No. N0702-At488-S |
500 µl purified antibody, lyophilized from PBS, fluorescence-labeled with
ATTO® 488.
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. |
Storage |
Up to three months: -20°C Up to 12 months: -80°C or below Protect form light! |
Applications |
IHC: 1 : 500 |
Label | ATTO 488, two fluorophores coupled to one FluoTag |
Clone | 4B1 |
Subtype | single domain |
Reactivity |
Reacts with: chicken. No signal: mouse, rabbit, Guinea pig, donkey, rat, goat, pig, horse, cow, human. Other species not tested yet. |
Specificity | Recognizes native chicken IgY. It does not cross-react to mouse, rabbit, Guinea pig, rat, donkey, goat, pig, horse, cow or human IgGs. |
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.
