Allophycocyanin conjugated streptavidin

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in Japan

Allophycocyanin-conjugated streptavidin is a fluorescent protein complex used in various biological applications. Streptavidin, a protein derived from the bacterium Streptomyces, has a strong affinity for the small molecule biotin. Allophycocyanin, a fluorescent pigment found in certain algae, is covalently attached to the streptavidin, creating a fluorescent probe. This complex can be used to detect and quantify biotinylated molecules in experiments such as immunoassays, flow cytometry, and microscopy.

Immune Cell Profiling in Mouse Ear Tissue

Mice were anesthetized with pentobarbital (Kyoritsu Seiyaku Co., Tokyo, Japan) and were perfusion-fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde. Ears were then removed and cryoembedded in optimum cutting temperature compound (Sakura Finetek, Tokyo, Japan), and 10-μm sections were cut using a cryostat. Cryosections were refixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 minutes and were incubated for 1 hour at room temperature in PBS containing skin milk. After blocking, cryosections were incubated for 1 hour with primary biotinylated antibodies specific for Gr-1, CD11c, and F4/80 (1:50 dilutions; eBioscience). Cryosections were then incubated for 30 minutes with allophycocyanin-conjugated streptavidin (1:100 dilution; eBioscience) and nuclei were stained using Hoechst 33258 (Dojindo Laboratories, Kumamoto, Japan).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
