Rhodopsin Antibody (Rho 1D4) [CoraFluor™ 1]

CoraFluor™ 1, amine reactive (Catalog:7920) and CoraFluor™ 2, amine reactive (Catalog # 7950) are terbium-based probes that have been developed for use as TR-FRET donors. They emit wavelengths compatible with commonly used fluorescent acceptor dyes such as BODIPY® (or BDY) and Janelia Fluor® dyes, FITC (Catalog # 5440), TMR and Cyanine 5 (Catalog # 5436). CoraFluor™ fluorescence is brighter and more stable in biological media than existing TR-FRET donors, leading to enhanced sensitivity and improved data generation. CoraFluor™ 1 exhibits excitation upon exposure to a 337 nm UV laser.

Rhodopsin Antibody (Rho 1D4) [CoraFluor™ 1] Summary

• Description: CoraFluor(TM) 1 is a high performance terbium-based TR-FRET (Time-Resolved Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer) or TRF (Time-Resolved Fluorescence) donor for high throughput assay development. CoraFluor(TM) 1 absorbs UV light at approximately 340 nm, and emits at approximately 490 nm, 545 nm, 585 nm and 620 nm. It is compatible with common acceptor dyes that absorb at the emission wavelengths of CoraFluor(TM) 1. CoraFluor(TM) 1 can be used for the development of robust and scalable TR-FRET binding assays such as target engagement, ternary complex, protein-protein interaction and protein quantification assays.

• Additional Information: Recombinant Monoclonal Antibody
• Immunogen: Bleached bovine rod outer segment (ROS).
• Specificity: The antibody binds to the C-terminus of rhodopsin on the cytoplasmic side of disk membranes. The epitope has the following amino acid sequence: 'TETSQVAPA'. A limitation of the 1D4 tag, however, is that it has to be placed at the C-terminus of a protein. This is because the Rho1D4 monoclonal antibody requires a free carboxylate group for high affinity binding. Amidation of the carboxyl group lowers its immunoreactivity to the Rho1D4 antibody by over 100 fold.
