Conjugate | Unconjugated |
Clonality | Polyclonal |
Application ![]()
| WB, E, I, LCI |
Application Note | Anti-RFP is designed to detect recombinant RFP. Anti-RFP antibody has been tested by ELISA and western blot to detect RFP. Use either alkaline phosphatase or peroxidase conjugated polyclonal anti-RFP to detect RFP or RFP containing proteins on western blots. Optimal titers for applications should be determined by the researcher. This product shows optimal performance by western blot. |
Physical State | Liquid (sterile filtered) |
Buffer | 0.02 M Potassium Phosphate, 0.15 M Sodium Chloride, pH 7.2 |
Immunogen | The immunogen is a Red Fluorescent Protein (RFP) fusion protein corresponding to the full length amino acid sequence (234aa) derived from the mushroom polyp coral Discosoma. |
Preservative | 0.01% (w/v) Sodium Azide |
Purity | RFP Antibody was prepared from egg yolks by a multi-step process which includes filtration, delipidation, salt fractionation and extensive dialysis against the buffer stated above. RFP Antibody was tested by western blot. |

Function | Thought to play a role in photoprotection of the coral's resident symbiont microalgae's photosystems from photoinhibition caused by high light levels found near the surface of coral reefs. In deeper water, the fluorescence may be to convert blue light into longer wavelengths more suitable for use in photosynthesis by the microalgal symbionts. |
