The most frequently cited monoclonal anti-RFP antibody

Immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry with the ChromoTek's anti-RFP antibody [5F8]

The ChromoTek rat monoclonal anti-RFP antibody 5F8  has been cited for the use in immunofluorescence (IF) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) experiments in more than 250 peer-reviewed articles. It is thus the monoclonal anti-RFP antibody referenced most often at the database  citeAB.  This top rank is the result of its performance and quality. The anti-RFP antibody 5F8  recognizes common RFP variants including mCherry, mPlum, mRFP, mRFPruby.

“The 5F8 antibody is great. We have beautiful staining in the olfactory bulb for our neurons electroporated with RFP-encoding vector." Manav Pathania, School of Medicine, Yale University
