Product overview

Name Janelia Fluor® 646 conjugation kit
Biological description

Overview

The Hello Bio Janelia Fluor 646® conjugation kit allows the conjugation of antibodies and proteins to Janelia Fluor® 646 in as little at 90 minutes (15 minutes active time) with a high degree of labeling. There are many benefits of directly labeled proteins and antibodies such as:

  • Much easier multiplexing - no need to mix and match antibody species correctly
  • Avoid non-specific binding by secondary antibodies
  • Save time by shortening staining protocols.

Requirements

  • Not compatible with BSA containing antibodies or proteins as this will reduce the taget labeling. These should be removed before processing.
  • The protein to be labeled should be greater than 7kDa in size
  • The antibody concentration should be at least 1mg/ml, lower concentrations can be used however this will effect the degree of labeling.

Pack size guidance

Please note:

  • The 2x50µg packsize is sufficient to carry out 2 conjugation reactions on 50µg protein each.
  • The 3x100µg packsize is sufficent to carry out 3 conjugation reactions on 100µg protein each.

Figure 1. Janelia Fluor® 646 conjugated anti-neurofilament light antibody staining in rat cerebellum

Janelia Fluor® 646 was conjugated with HB7266 (rabbit monoclonal anti-neurofilament L antibody) following the provided protocol and used to stain neuronal projections in rat cerebellum. Method: Rat brains were dissected and fixed overnight in 4% PFA before then being incubated in 30% sucrose (in PBS) until sunk (approx. 48hrs). A freezing microtome was used to cut 40µm horizontal slices before sections were incubated in 1% NaBH4 for 30 minutes. Sections were blocked in 0.05M glycine, 2% BSA and 3% donkey serum before incubation overnight at 4°C in Janelia Fluor® 646 conjugated HB7266 at a 1:500 dilution. Following washing, DAPI (HB0747) was used at 1µg/ml to visualise cell nuclei before sections were mounted using MightyMount Antifade Fluorescence Mounting Medium (aqueous). For more detail please see our IHC(IF) protocol. Images were captured as a tilescan using a Leica DMI6000B inverted epifluorescence microscope connected to a Photometric Prime 95B camera. The image was captured using a 40x objective (DAPI: 4ms, Y5: 80ms exposures) in a z-stack (0.3µm spacing). The image was deconvolved in Huygens professional software before the stack was flattened using a maximum Z projection in ImageJ (Schindelin et al., 2012. Nat Methods, 9(7), 676–682).

Janelia Fluor® 646 was conjugated with HB7266 (rabbit monoclonal anti-neurofilament L antibody) following the provided protocol and used to stain neuronal projections in rat midbrain. Method: Rat brains were dissected and fixed overnight in 4% PFA before then being incubated in 30% sucrose (in PBS) until sunk (approx. 48hrs). A freezing microtome was used to cut 40µm horizontal slices before sections were incubated in 1% NaBH4 for 30 minutes.

For more detail please see our IHC(IF) protocol. Images were captured using a Leica DMI6000B inverted epifluorescence microscope connected to a Photometric Prime 95B camera. The image was captured as a tilescan using a 20x objective (DAPI: 5ms, Y5: 221ms exposures) in a z-stack (0.98µm spacing). The image was deconvolved in Huygens professional software before the stack was flattened using a maximum Z projection in ImageJ (Schindelin et al., 2012. Nat Methods, 9(7), 676–682).
