Product Information

DNA plasmid encoding for anti-PCNA VHH (anti-PCNA Nanobody) fused to fluorescent protein TagRFP. PCNA is a cell cycle marker.

DescriptionThe Cell Cycle-Chromobody allows visualization of the endogenous cell cycle marker protein PCNA:

• Trace dynamic changes during the cell cycle in real-time

• Monitor the distribution of an endogenous cell cycle marker protein without artifacts or cytotoxic effects when overexpressing fluorescent fusion proteins

• Does not affect cellular functions

ApplicationsLive cell imaging
Visualizing endogenous cell cycle marker protein PCNA
Actin as biomarker or control
SpecificityPCNA (proliferating cell nuclear antigen), tested in human cells and zebrafish
ReporterTagRFP
Vector typeMammalian expression vector
PromoterConstitutive CMV IE
Codon usageMammalian
SelectionKan/Neo
SequenceWith the Cell Cycle-Chromobody plasmid you receive the sequence information of the Alpaca antibody to PCNA fused to TagRFP, as well as the full vector sequence.
TransfectionTransfection of Chromobody plasmids into mammalian cells can be done with standard DNA-transfection methods, e.g. lipofection (Lipofectamine 2000® from Thermo Scientific), according to the manufacturer’s protocol for the transfection reagent. Please choose the transfection method that works the best for your cell type.
Microscopy techniquesWide-field epifluorescence microscopy; confocal microscopy; super-resolution microscopy e.g. STED and 3D-SIM; high-content microscopy and analysis
Storage ConditionShipped at ambient temperature. Store at -20 °C
