Validation Data Gallery

• 

  HeLa cells transiently transfected with PCNA-mRFP and Tom70-eGFP were subjected to one-step immunostaining with RFP-Booster Alexa Fluor 568 (red) and GFP-Booster Alexa Fluor 488 (green). Scale bar, 10 μm. Images were recorded at the Core Facility Bioimaging at the Biomedical Center, LMU Munich.

Product Information

anti-RFP VHH/ Nanobody conjugated to fluorophore for IF, of mCherry and other red fluorescent protein-fusion proteins

• Description: The RFP-Booster stabilizes, enhances, and reactivates the signal of RFP-fusion proteins such as mCherry, mRFP, etc.. Due to its small size, the RFP-Booster enables higher image quality in epifluorescence, confocal, and super-resolution microscopy:; ;

  • Considerably higher tissue penetration rates;

  • Superior accessibility and labelling of epitopes in crowded cellular/organelle environments;

  • Less than 2 nm epitope-label displacement minimizes linkage error;

  • Monovalent VHHs do not cluster their epitopes;

  • Validation: structure and function characterized;

  • Consistent and reliable performance due to recombinant production

• Applications: IF, IHC, ICC
• Host: Alpaca
• Specificity/Target: mCherry, mPlum, mRFP, mRFPruby, mKate2; For the complete list, please click here: Fluorescent protein specificity table Nano-Booster
