Antibody type Ab
Application Antibodies to RFP (Discosoma spp.) are intended for use in immunological assays including ELISA, Western blotting, Fluorometry and Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting (FACS).
Polyclonal anti-RFP is designed to detect RFP and its variants. This antibody can be used to detect RFP by ELISA (Sandwich or Capture) for the direct binding of antigen. Biotin conjugated polyclonal anti-RFP used in a sandwich ELISA with unconjugated anti-RFP is well suited to titrate RFP in solution. The detection antibody conjugated to Biotin is subsequently reacted with streptavidin conjugated HRP.
Fluorochrome conjugated polyclonal anti-RFP can be used to detect RFP by Immunofluorescence microscopy in cell expression systems and can detect RFP containing inserts. Significant amplification of signal is achieved using fluorochrome conjugated polyclonal anti-RFP relative to the fluorescence of RFP alone. For immunoblotting use either alkaline phosphatase or peroxidase conjugated polyclonal anti-RFP to detect RFP or RFP containing proteins on Western blots.
Recommended Dilutions:
ELISA: 1/90,000.
Western blot: 1/2,000-1/10,000.
Immunohistochemistry: 1/200-1/2,000.
Background Epitope tagging is a powerful and versatile strategy for detecting and purifying proteins expressed by cloned genes. To utilize this feature, protein expression vectors are typically engineered with a nucleotide sequence that encodes the peptide epitope tag. The gene of interest is cloned in-frame relative to the tag and, upon expression, the protein of interest is synthesized as a fusion protein with the peptide tag. Fusion protein detection and/or purification is mediated by highly specific antibodies to the engineered peptide, thus eliminating the need for antibodies to proteins from each newly cloned gene. Commonly used epitope tags include glutathione-S-transferase (GST), c-myc, 6-histidine (6X-His), FLAG, green fluorescent protein (GFP), red fluorescent protein (RFP, DSRed), maltose binding protein (MBP), influenza A virus haemagglutinin (HA), b-galactosidase, and GAL4.

Specificity
Specificity:
Polyclonal anti-RFP is designed to detect RFP and its variants.
Assay by Immunoelectrophoresis resulted in a single precipitin arc against anti-Rabbit Serum and purified and partially purified Red Fluorescent Protein (Discosoma).
No reaction was observed against Human, Mouse or Rat serum proteins. ELISA was used to confirm specificity at less than 0.1% of target signal.
Expect reactivity against RFP and its variants: mCherry, tdTomato, mBanana, mOrange, mPlum, mOrange and mStrawberry.
