Alpaca Anti-mCherry, recombinant single domain Antibody

mCherry is a monomeric red fluorescent protein (mRFP) belonging to the mFruits family which is brighter and more photostable compared to the first-generation mRFP1, making them ideal for fluorescence microscopy. mCherry has an excitation maximum at 587 nm and an emission maximum at 610 nm. mCherry protein was derived from DsRed, a red fluorescent protein from the coral Discosoma (disc anemone). mCherry is 236 amino acids (aa) in length with a theoretical molecular weight of 28 kDa and has a crystal structure with the chromophore forming a central helix shielded within an eleven-stranded beta-barrel. Alpaca derived anti-mCherry VHH single domain antibody (molecular weight: 14.3 kDa), expressed in E. coli under conditions free from animal derived components.It has a 6His tag at its C-terminal.
Single-domain antibody (sdAb), also called nano-antibody, is the variable region isolated from the antigen-binding variable domain (VHH) of camelid heavy-chain-only antibody. It lacks light chains and a first constant domain(CH1). This configuration confers a number of unique advantages over conventional monoclonal antibodies. The small size of just 15 kDa (2~4 nm), single-domain antibody is the smallest antigen-binding fragment that can easily penetrate tissues, allowing them to bind epitopes that are inacessible to conventional antibodies. These single-domain antibodies offer superior chemical and thermal stability and increased solubility than conventional antibodies. All our antibodies are tested to ensure the highest level of specificity, sensitivity and reproducibility.
