Immunogen
Recombinant Protein of mCherry-Tag
Specificity
The antibody detects mCherry tag fusion proteins.
Formulation
PBS, pH 7.4, containing 0.5%BSA, 0.02% sodium azide as Preservative and 50% Glycerol.
Purification process (Immunogen)
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using specific immunogen.
Background
mCherry is derived from proteins originally isolated from Cnidarians (jelly fish, sea anemones and corals), and is used as a fluorescent tracer in trasfection and transgenic experiments. The prototype for these fluorescent proteins is Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP), which is a ~27kDa protein isolated originally from the jellyfish Aequoria victoria. The mCherry protein is derived from DsRed, a red fluorescent protein related to GFP isolated from so-called disc corals of the genus Discosoma.
