Validation Data Gallery

• 

  Confocal images of HeLa cells transiently transfected with MannosidaseII-GFP (green) and immunostained with GFP-Booster Alexa Fluor 568 (red). Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). Scale bar, 10 μm. Images were recorded at the Core Facility Bioimaging at the Biomedical Center, LMU Munich.

Product Information

anti-GFP VHH/ Nanobody conjugated to a fluorescent dye for IF/ microscopy.

• Description: The GFP-Booster stabilizes, enhances, and reactivates the signal of GFP-fusion proteins. Due to its small size, the GFP-Booster enables higher image quality in epifluorescence, confocal, and super-resolution microscopy

  • Considerably higher tissue penetration rates

  • Superior accessibility and labelling of epitopes in crowded cellular/organelle environments

  • Less than 2 nm epitope-label displacement minimizes linkage error

  • Monovalent VHHs do not cluster their epitopes

  • Validation: structure and function characterized

  • Consistent and reliable performance due to recombinant production

• Applications: IF, IHC, ICC
• Host: Alpaca
• Specificity/Target: CFP, AcGFP, EGFP, GFP, GFP S65T, mClover, EGFP A206K, pHluorin, PA-GFP, sfGFP, TagGFP, TagGFP2, Citrine, Ecitrine, EYFP, Venus, YFP, Ypet; For the complete list, please click here: Fluorescent protein specificity table Nano-Booster

this is the second time that I purchase the GFP booster, first time i used the 488 and it worked great, this time I got the 568. Tissue used is colon and the two BoosterGFP worked differently, with the 568 having lots of trouble (lot issue???)

• Applications: Immunofluorescence
• Primary Antibody Dilution: 1:400
