Product Information

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

DescriptionThe 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

The alpaca GFP booster was very useful to show cellular location of PAR2-mugfp in the mouse colon. It works well at the concentration of 1:400 in a PFA fixed and Sucrose cryoprotected 10um colonic section. A must buy!

  • Applications: Immunofluorescence
  • Primary Antibody Dilution: 1:400
  • Cell Tissue Type: Mouse colonic tissue
