FluoTag®-X4 anti-GFP abberior STAR_STED-optimized.png

Confocal vs. STED images of PFA-fixed U2OS-NUP96-GFP stable cell line stained with FluoTag®-X4 anti-GFP conjugated to abberior STAR RED (left panel, Cat. No. N0304-AbRED-L) or abberior STAR ORANGE (right panel, Cat. No. N0304-AbORANGE-L). FluoTag®-X4 anti-GFP specifically binds to GFP fused to NUP96, enabling the visualization of NUP96 nucleoporins within the Nuclear Pore Complex (NPC). The STED images reveal fine structural details with superior resolution compared to confocal microscopy. Images acquired by abberior.

FluoTag®-X4 anti-GFP is a blend of two in-house developed single-domain antibodies (sdAbs) that recognize two distinct epitopes on GFP and its most common derivatives with high affinity and specificity. It enables direct and highly specific fluorescent detection of GFP-tagged targets without the need for secondary antibodies.

General information: A breakthrough in biology and bioluminescence began in the 1960s when Osamu Shimomura and colleagues discovered a glowing protein in the jellyfish Aequorea victoria. This paved the way for fluorescence-based research. However, it wasn’t until the early 1990s that the green fluorescent protein (GFP) sequence was cloned and used as a fluorescent marker in foreign organisms. Today, more than 800 fluorescent protein variants are cataloged in open-source databases, with the most extensive collection available on FPbase.

FluoTag®-X4 anti-GFP is a blend of two in-house developed single-domain antibodies (sdAbs), each binding to distinct epitopes on GFP. Every sdAb carries two fluorophores, decorating GFP-tagged targets with a total of four fluorophores (FluoTag®-X4). This design enhances brightness and detection sensitivity. For more details on our FluoTag®-Q, -X2, and -X4 series, visit our Technology Section.

FluoTag®-X4 anti-GFP binds strongly to most fluorescent proteins derived from Aequorea victoria. Explore our FP Specificity Chart for compatibility information.
