Streptavidin Janelia Fluor® 525
Product overview
| Name | Streptavidin Janelia Fluor® 525 |
| Biological description | Streptavidin Janelia Fluor® 525 is a biotin binding protein conjugated with the fluorescent dye Janelia Fluor® 525 and can be used to detect biotin labelled molecules such as nucleic acids, antibodies, and other proteins. Biotinylated antibodies are bound with extremely high affinity by Streptavidin Janelia Fluor® 525 enabling immunofluorescent detection in IHC, ICC, flow cytometry and Western blot. Janelia Fluor® 525 and the other members of the Janelia Fluor® family are bright and highly photostable fluorophores particularly suited for super resolution imaging such as dSTORM and STED.
Key features: · Conjugated with Janelia Fluor® 525 (Ex: 534nm, Em: 559nm) · Supplied as a more stable lyophilate · Bright and photostable signal for repeated imaging · Suited for IHC(IF), ICC, Western blotting and Flow cytometry |
| Description | Janelia Fluor® 525 conjugated streptavidin for detection and signal amplification of biotin coupled proteins and antibodies. |

Figure 1. Parvalbumin and Calretinin expressing interneurons in the rat hippocampus.
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 in Parvalbumin HB6457 (1:1000 dilution) and Calretinin HB6494 (1:4000 dilution) at 4°C. This was followed by a two hour incubation with goat anti-mouse biotin antibody at a dilution of 1:250 and goat anti-rabbit Dylight™ 650 (Thermofisher) at a dilution of 1:300. Following three washes in PBST, sections were incubated with Streptavidin Janelia Fluor® 525 (HB15382) at 1.0 µg/mL for 2 hours at room temperature. DAPI HB0747 was used at 1µg/ml to visualise cell nuclei. For more detail please see our IHC(IF) protocol. Images were captured using a Leica DMI6000B inverted epifluorescence microscope. Images were captured as a tilescan using a 20x objective in a z-stack with exposures: A4: 57.803 ms, Y3: 599.044 ms, Y5 599.044 ms. Stacks were deconvolved using Huygens professional then flattened using a maximum Z projection in ImageJ (Schindelin et al., 2012. Nat Methods, 9(7), 676–682).
