Streptavidin Janelia Fluor® 646
Product overview
| Name | Streptavidin Janelia Fluor® 646 |
| Biological description | Streptavidin Janelia Fluor® 646 is a biotin binding protein conjugated with the fluorescent dye Janelia Fluor® 646 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® 646 enabling immunofluorescent detection in IHC, ICC, flow cytometry and Western blot. Janelia Fluor® 646 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.

Figure 1. Parvalbumin positive interneurons and GFAP positive astrocytes 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 anti-parvalbumin HB6457 (1:1000 dilution) and GFAP HB6406 (1:4000 dilution) at 4°C. This was followed by a two hour incubation with goat anti-mouse biotin antibody HB11345 at a dilution of 1:250, and goat anti-chicken Alexa Fluor™ 488 (Invitrogen) at a dilution of 1:300. Following three washes in PBST, sections were incubated with Streptavidin Janelia Fluor® 646 (HB17045) 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 using a 20x objective in a z-stack with exposures: 1.0 µg/mL: DAP: 57.803 ms, GFP: 3061.716 ms, Y5: 1165.153 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).
