Red fluorescent protein Monoclonal antibody

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 mouse (IgG2b) monoclonal antibody raised against RFP (eqFP611). It can be used to detect RFPs from eqFP611 and eqFP578 lineages.
