Camelid single domain antibodies (sdAbs) consist only of one antigen binding site of an Alpaca heavy chain antibody. With only ~15 kDa, these Tags are about 10-times smaller than conventional IgG antibody molecules.
Cat. No. N3501-AF568-L |
200 µl purified antibody, lyophilized from PBS, fluorescence-labeled with AZdye 568.
Fluorescence labeled antibodies conjugated to Alexa® dyes are well suited for standard epi-fluorescence setups and confocal microscopy. AZdye® 568: λex 568 nm / λem 665 nm (identical to Alexa® 568) This product or portions thereof is manufactured under license from Life Technologies Corporation. Reconstitute immediately upon receipt! Avoid bright light when working with the antibody to minimize photo bleeching of the fluorescent dye. |

This anti-S1 SARS-CoV-2 nanobody was developed by the team of Alejandro Rojas-Fernandez at the Institute of Medicine from the Universidad Austral de Chile. NanoTag acquired the exclusive license to produce this nanobody and make it available or research and development purposes. The FluoTag-Q anti-S1 SARS-CoV-2 is based on the W25 clone, which has a sub-nanomolar affinity for the SARS-CoV-2 S1 protein receptor binding domain (RBD) and can neutralize infections as it efficiently competes with ACE-2 receptor binding.
Unlabeled variants and several modifications of sdAbs like biotin, fluorophore or DBCO conjugation are available.
In FluoTag®-Q each fluorophore is coupled to exactly one FluoTag, which in turn binds to its target molecule in a monovalent fashion. The high binding affinity and a coupling efficiency of > 95% guarantees a highly linear relation between the number of target molecules and the intensity of fluorescence. This enables a direct count of the target molecule of interest. The fluorophore is located exceptionally close to the recognized epitope (< 1.5 nm), which is ideal for all microscopy techniques.
