Specifications

Product Data

• Applications: FC, IHC
• Recommended Dilution:
  This product is designed for immunofluorescence microscopy, fluorescence based plate assays (FLISA) and fluorescent western blotting. This product is also suitable for multiplex analysis, including multicolor imaging, utilizing various commercial platforms.
  

  Suitable for Immunomicroscopy (1/500-1/2,500) and Flow Cytometry or FACS analysis as well as other antibody based fluorescent assays requiring lot-to-lot consistency.
• Host: Goat
• Isotype: IgG
• Clonality: Polyclonal
• Immunogen: Highly purified R-Phycoerythrin from the seaweed gracila
• Specificity: This product was prepared from monospecific antiserum by Immunoaffinity Chromatography using a R-Phycoerythrin coupled to agarose beads followed by solid phase adsorption(s) to remove any unwanted reactivities. Assay by immunoelectrophoresis resulted in a single precipitin arc against anti-Goat Serum and R-Phycoerythrin conjugated IgG.
  This antibody will cross react with B-Phycoerythrin. Reactivity with other phycobiliproteins is unknown.

• Background: Phycoerythrin is one of a series of fluorescent pigments known as phycobiliproteins, which are produced by red and blue green algae. It occurs in more than one form, and has found application in immunology and diagnostic medicine. B and R Phycoerythrins provide superior labeling compared to fluorescein and rhodamine, and are used for labeling antibodies, usually monoclonals. These dyes may also be coupled to enzymes and other proteins, nucleic acids, polypeptide hormones, drugs, etc. Since phycoerythrins absorb light maximally between 450 and 650nm they fill the need for an intense fluorescent dye in the longer wavelengths of the visible spectrum, thereby avoiding interference from naturally fluorescing biological substances. R Phycoerythrin (240 kDa) is a labile molecule that may dissociate into components upon exposure to reducing or denaturing agents.
