Summary >
Description:
Anti-GFP, AlpSdAbs® VHH(iFluor488) is designed for detecting GFP fusion proteins. Anti-GFP, AlpSdAbs® VHH(iFluor488) is based on monoclonal, recombinant, single domain antibody to GFP coupled to iFluor488 . Based on immunoelectrophoresis and/or ELISA, Anti-GFP, AlpSdAbs® VHH(iFluor488) detects the GFP selectively, no reactivity with other proteins.

Background:
Green fluorescent proteins (GFPs) and the variants thereof are widely used to study protein function and location. GFP was originally derived from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria. It has 238 amino acid residues and a green fluorophore, which is comprised of only three amino acids: Ser65-Tyr66-Gly67. The stable protein structure is formed by beta sheets, which have a conformation that makes up an 11-stranded drum-like structure. The stability of GFP allows it to withstand pH levels ranging from mildly acidic (pH=5.5) to extremely basic (pH=12), and can also resist temperatures of up to 65°C. GFP has major and minor excitation peaks at wavelengths of 395 nm and 475 nm, respectively.
VHH are single-domain antibodies derived from the variable regions of heavy chain of Camelidae immunoglobulin. The size of VHH is extremely small(<15KDa) compared to other forms of antibody fragment, which significantly increase the permeability of VHH. Thus VHH is considered of great value for research, diagnostics and therapeutics.

Dilution factors are presented in the form of a range because the optimal dilution is a function of many factors, such as antigen density, permeability, etc. The actual dilution used must be determined empirically.
