E2-Crimson fluorescent protein
Living Colors E2-Crimson is a bright far-red fluorescent protein that was designed for in vivo applications involving sensitive cells, such as primary cells and stem cells. E2-Crimson was derived from DsRed-Express2 and retains its rapid maturation (half-time of 26 minutes at 37°C), high photostability, high solubility, and low cytotoxicity (Strack et al. 2009).
Overview
- Far-red fluorescent protein
- E2-Crimson fluorescent protein excitation and emission maxima: 611 and 646 nm, respectively
- Several of our red fluorescent protein antibodies strongly detect E2-Crimson
