FluoTag®-X4 anti-RFP is a blend of two in-house developed single-domain antibodies (sdAbs) recognizing the most common red fluorescent proteins like mRFP, mCherry, DsRed, and other DsRed derivatives with high affinity and specificity. Conjugated to fluorophores, it enables direct and highly specific fluorescent detection, eliminating the need for secondary antibodies.
One of the first red-emitting fluorescent proteins described was DsRed from Discosoma sp. After a couple of years from its publication in 1999 and more than 20 mutations, a monomeric version with several enhanced characteristics appeared as mRFP1. From this promising monomeric red-FP, dozens of monomeric variants have been described, being mCherry one of the most popular derivatives. Today more than 800 entries of various fluorescent proteins can be found in an open-source database with the most currently available variants in the fluorescence protein database “fpbase”
Our nanobodies bind specifically and strongly to DsRed, RFP, and mCherry, among other family members. Look at our specificity chart in the resource section.
FluoTags® are directly conjugated to fluorophores, however, they 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, decorating the target protein with 4 fluorophores in total (FluoTag®-X4). For more detailed information on the FluoTags, please check our Technology Section.
