| Background | Red fluorescent proteins (RFPs) is a collective term referring to a heterogenous group of red chromophore-carrying proteins, originating from various species and forming different protein lineages. The original RFP (dsRed) is a 225 amino acid fluorescent protein (25.9 kDa) derived from Discosoma sp.. It emits red light with a peak wavelength of 593 nm upon excitation by green light (excitation peak at 558 nm). When fused with other proteins, RFP serves as a versatile reporter protein e.g. for quantifying expression levels or facilitates visualization of subcellular localization through fluorescence microscopy. This antibody is a rat monoclonal antibody raised against RFP, reactive to a variety of RFP derivates, including mOrange, DsRed, mCherry, mRFP, mRFPRuby, mScarlet, tdTomato, mKate2, and mPlum. |

FH Anzy (Verified Customer) (08-13-2024) | Works well against mScarlet-i
 |
FH Prabha (Verified Customer) (09-11-2023) | The RFP antibody 5F8 is really excellent. Immunodetection shows specific detection without any background signal.
 |
FH Ramzi (Verified Customer) (01-24-2023) | I have tested the anti 5f8 Rat and the secondary I used anti-GFP Rat 488. I used vibratome brain sections from creER2 tomato DsRed mice. I tested in 2 different ratio 1:200 and 1:1000 both worked very will and this is the images I took.
