FluoTag®-X2 anti-ALFA is derived from an in-house developed single-domain antibody (sdAb) that recognizes a small rationally-designed epitope tag: the ALFA tag. A full characterization of the system can be found in an open source article published in Nat. Commun. in 2019.
Our FluoTag-X2 series binds in a monovalent fashion with high affinity and specificity irrespective of whether the sample is alive or fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, 2% glutaraldehyde, or methanol. Additionally, like all X2 FluoTags, it features two site-specifically coupled fluorophores per sdAb.
Owing to the small size of our FluoTags and the short ALFA-tag (15 amino acids; PSRLEEELRRRLTEP), the distance between the target epitope and each fluorophore is below 3 nm. Proteins of interest can be tagged with our ALFA-tag at the N-termini, C-termini, or in-between domains and they can also be immunoprecipitated or natively purified with complexes or partner binders using our series of ALFA-Selector resins with physiological elution capability.
Therefore, this ALFA tag and the companion FluoTags®-X2 anti-ALFA and ALFA-Selectors are the perfect choices for fluorescent-based experiments that want to be combined with biochemical purifications, mass-spectrometry, or any other high-end application.
FluoTags® can be equipped with a single fluorophore for more quantitative readouts (FluoTag®-Q), with two fluorophores per single-domain antibody (FluoTag®-X2), and we also developed a blend of two sdAbs bindings simultaneously the target proteins and each bearing two fluorophores (FluoTag®-X4).
