Application examples

Application examples Application example

A: Western blot of HEK293 cells transfected with pFin-EF1-mCherry vector. Transfected cells (1). Non-transfected control cells (2).
B: Immunofluorescence analysis of mCherry-transfected HEK293 cells using anti-mCherry (chicken antibody) AS18 4178.

Additional information

In western blot ~28 kDa band is detected corresponding to intact full-length mCherry on HEK293 cells transfected with mCherry vector.

Background

Background mCherry is derived from DsRed, a red fluorescent protein from so-called disc corals of the genus Discosoma. DsRed is a 223 amino acid ~28kDa protein similar in size and properties to GFP, hoever it produces a red rather than a green fluorochrome. mCherry in its monomeric form is useful for applications such as Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET, also known as Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer). The protein is an engineered derivative of one of a family of proteins originally isolated from Cnidarians (jelly fish, sea anemones and corals).
