Immunostaining of PFA fixed Cos7 cells expressing a TOM70-mEOS reporter protein with FluoTag®-X2 Abberior STAR 580 anti-mEos sdAb (Cat. No. N3102, dilution 1:500, the mEos signal is represented in green, the corresponding FluoTag-signal is represented in red and the merge of both channels is represented in yellow/orange). Nuclei were visualized by DAPI staining (blue).

The left panel displays the fluorescent signal of endogenous mEos4b-GlyRβ protein (green) that localises at inhibitory synapses. The middle panel shows the labeling of endogenous mEos4b-GlyRβ with FluoTag® anti-mEos-AF647 (Cat. No. N3102-AF647-L, dilution 1:1000, cyan). The right panel shows Gephyrin labeling as a positive control to mark inhibitory synapses using the mAb7a antibody (Synaptic Systems Cat. No.147011, dilution 1:1000, red) and a CF568-conjugated secondary antibody. Image courtesy of S. Camuso and C.G. Specht, Inserm, UPSaclay, Le Kremlin-Bicêtre, France [unpublished data].

FluoTag®-X2 anti-mEOS is a fluorophore-conjugated single-domain antibody (sdAb) that recognizes mEOS, which is a bright monomeric green photoswitchable fluorescent protein derived from Lobophyllia hemprichii.

In 2004 Wiedernmann and colleagues described an engineered fluorescent protein with photoswitchable properties, EosFP, which could be selectively shifted from green to red emission and was derived from a fluorescent protein discovered in Lobopyllia hemprichii. The same study also describes a monomeric, improved version, mEOS. Over the last years, several enhanced versions have been discovered expanding the repertoire of photoswitchable fluorescent probes. An open-source database with the most currently available variants can be found in the fluorescence protein database “fpbase”.

Our nanobody binds specifically and strongly to mEOS2, 3.2 & 4b; likely, it also binds other EOS fluorescent proteins. Have a look at our specificity chart in our Resource Section.

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). For more detailed information on the FluoTags, please check our Technology Section.
