Species-independent multiplexing with Smart Secondaries® conjugated to abberior STAR dyes_FluoTag-X2 anti-Rabbit IgG_N2402

Multiplexing (see our Technologies): PFA-fixed mammalian cells were stained using four rabbit primary antibodies premixed with FluoTag®-X2 anti-Rabbit IgG (Smart Secondaries®) conjugated to different abberior STAR dyes. Peroxisomes stained with anti-PMP70 rabbit polyclonal Ab and FluoTag®-X2 anti-Rabbit IgG conjugated to abberior STAR 460L (cyan; Cat. No. N2402-Ab460L-S). Golgi apparatus stained with anti-Giantin rabbit polyclonal Ab and FluoTag®-X2 anti-Rabbit IgG conjugated to abberior STAR GREEN (green; Cat. No. N2402-AbGREEN-S). Nuclear pore complexes stained with anti-NUP98 rabbit monoclonal Ab and FluoTag®-X2 anti-Rabbit IgG conjugated to abberior STAR ORANGE (magenta; Cat. No. N2402-AbORANGE-S ). Mitochondria stained with anti-TOM20 rabbit polyclonal Ab and FluoTag®-X2 anti-Rabbit IgG conjugated to abberior STAR RED (orange; Cat. No. N2402-AbRED-S).

Multiplexing with same-species primary antibodies and Smart Secondaries (two FluoTag®-X2 anti-Mouse IgG1 abberior STAR ORANGE & STAR RED) and FluoTag®-X4 anti-GFP abberior deepRED_NanoTag

Multiplexing (see our Technologies): PFA-fixed U2OS-NUP96-GFP stable cells were stained using two mouse primary antibodies, each pre-mixed with FluoTag®-X2 anti-Mouse IgG1 (Smart Secondaries®), and subsequently combined with FluoTag®-X4 anti-GFP. All FluoTag® reagents were conjugated to distinct abberior STAR dyes. NUP96-GFP was detected using FluoTag®-X4 anti-GFP conjugated to deepRED (A, red; Cat. No. N0304-AbdeepRED-L), which specifically binds to GFP fused to NUP96. Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) were stained with NPC marker mouse monoclonal Ab and FluoTag®-X2 anti-Mouse IgG1 conjugated to abberior STAR RED (B, blue; Cat. No. N2002-AbRED-S). Vimentin was stained with anti-Vimentin mouse monoclonal Ab and FluoTag®-X2 anti-Mouse IgG1 conjugated to abberior STAR ORANGE (C, merged, orange; Cat. No. N2002-AbORANGE-S).

FluoTag®-X2 anti-Rabbit IgG is a fluorescent single-domain antibody (sdAb, nanobody, VHH) with high specificity and affinity for Rabbit IgG. It binds the constant Fc domain of any Rabbit IgG, regardless of clonality or VH domain, making it an ideal secondary tool for demanding imaging applications. As part of our Smart Secondaries® range, the FluoTag®-X2 anti-Rabbit IgG is particularly suited for OneStep Immunofluorescence (IF) and species-independent Multiplexing.

FluoTag®-X2 anti-Rabbit IgG is site-specifically conjugated to two fluorophores per sdAb (FluoTag®–X2 variant). We also offer FluoTag®-X4 anti-Rabbit IgG, a blend of two different sdAbs, each carrying two fluorophores, that bind simultaneously to Rabbit IgG for even brighter signal. To learn more about FluoTags®, please visit our Technology section here.

We provide this product conjugated to various fluorophores and offer custom conjugation services with most commercially available fluorophores, provided these are available in a thiol-reactive activated form.
