October 2009 - Fluorescent Proteins & Reporters

We understand that when you plan your imaging or reporter experiments, you want to find the best tools quickly and easily—but that can be challenging. Do you know your microscope’s specifications, but not which fluorescent proteins are within its range? Or perhaps the type of experiment you wish to do (FRET, in vivo imaging, etc.) but not which fluorescent proteins are ideally suited for the task? We’ve got you covered!
   - 20 fluorescent proteins in 6 distinct colors from far red to cyan
   - Bright fluorescence, proven photostability, fast detection
   - Well-tolerated by mammalian cells
   - Ideal for multiplex and multicolor analysis
   - Monitor gene expression in real time

E2-Crimson
New • Bright • Fast-Maturing • Far Red

Far red fluorescent proteins are ideal for live-animal imaging because absorption and light scattering are relatively low in tissues at wavelengths above 600 nm.
E2-Crimson:
- Is brighter than other far red fluorescent proteins
- Matures substantially faster than other red and far-red fluorescent proteins
- Displays low cytotoxicity in bacterial and mammalian cells
- Has the furthest red-shifted excitation of any known GFP homologue (611 nm), which makes it the first fluorescent protein that is efficiently excited with standard far-red lasers.

Read the article: "A rapidly maturing far-red derivative of DsRed-Express2 for whole-cell labeling." Strack, R. L. et al. (2009) Biochemistry 48(35):8279–8281.

The mammalian ER was imaged by conventional confocal microscopy (left) or by STED microscopy (right) with 635 nm excitation and a STED wavelength of 760 nm. The scale bar is 1 μm.
