Description
-
Goat polyclonal antibody to Bluebonnet. Bluebonnet is a monomeric blue fluorescent protein engineered from coral-derived fluorescent proteins originating from the cnidarian Entacmaea quadricolor. It is designed as a bright and photostable reporter suitable for fusion tagging, live-cell imaging, and multicolor experiments. Bluebonnet is a basic (constitutively fluorescent) protein with rapid maturation and stable fluorescence. It has a maximum excitation at 399 nm and a maximum emission at 454 nm. Bluebonnet-tagged proteins can be detected in Western blot at approximately 26–27 kDa plus the molecular weight of the fused protein. In immunofluorescence, antibody staining can enhance detection, particularly in fixed samples or low-expression systems. These antibodies are widely used in multicolor imaging, protein localization, and live-cell studies in mammalian and other model systems.
