Biological Activity

Description Fluorescein-5-isothiocyanate (FITC, Fluorescein isothiocyanate isomer I, 5-FITC) is a fluorescent probe capable of being conjugated to tissue and proteins.
In vitro
In vitro

1.Protein Preparetion
1) In order to obtain the best labeling effect, please prepare the protein (antibody) concentration as 2 mg/mL.
2) The pH value of protein solution shall be 8.5±0.5. If the pH is lower than 8.0, 1m sodium bicarbonate shall be used for adjustment.
3) If the protein concentration is lower than 2mg/ml, the labeling efficiency will be greatly reduced. In order to obtain the best labeling efficiency, it is recommended that the final protein concentration range is 2-10 mg/mL.
4) The protein must be in the buffer without primary amine (such as Tris or glycine) and ammonium ion, otherwise the labeling efficiency will be affected.
2.Dye Preparation
Add anhydrous DMSO into the vial of FITC to make a 10 mM stock solution. Mix well by pipetting or vortex.
3.Calculation of dye dosage
The amount of FITC required for reaction depends on the amount of protein to be labeled, and the optimal molar ratio of FITC to protein is about 10.
Example: assuming the required marker protein is 1 mL 2 mg/mL IgG (MW=150,000), use 1 mL DMSO dissolve 1 mg FITC, the required FITC volume is 40 μL.
4.Run conjugation reaction
1) A good volume of freshly prepared 10 mg/mL FITC is slowly added to 0.5 mL protein sample. In solution, gently shake to mix, then centrifuge briefly to collect the sample at the bottom of the reaction tube. Don't mix well to prevent protein samples from denaturation and inactivation.
2) The reaction tubules were placed in a dark place and incubated gently at room temperature for 60 minutes at intervals.For 10-15 minutes, gently reverse the reaction tubules several times to fully mix the two reactants and raise the bar efficiency.
5.Purify the conjugation
The following protocol is an example of dye-protein conjugate purification by using a Sephadex G-25 column.
1) Prepare Sephadex G-25 column according to the manufacture instruction.
2) Load the reaction mixture (From ""Run conjugation reaction"") to the top of the Sephadex G-25 column.
3) Add PBS (pH 7.2-7.4) as soon as the sample runs just below the top resin surface.
4) Add more PBS (pH 7.2-7.4) to the desired sample to complete the column purification.
Combine the fractions that contain the desired dye-protein conjugate.
