AF488 streptavidin
Based on 1 Customer Validation
AF488 streptavidin is a fluorescently labeled streptavidin. AF488 streptavidin is a streptavidin conjugated to Alexa Fluor 488, with 4 fluorophores per protein molecule, enabling stoichiometric fluorescent labeling of cell surface targets. AF488 streptavidin can form a complex with biotinylated E07 aptamer to stain cells expressing EGFR, and the staining is reversible after treatment with mA9 detoxifying oligonucleotides (Ex/Em = 470/520 nm).

Biological Activity
AF488 streptavidin (2:1 molar ratio (btE07 to AF488-SA); 20 min at room temperature) forms stable, functional complexes with biotin-tailed-E07 aptamer, enabling EGFR-targeted fluorescent cell labeling[1].
AF488 streptavidin (500 nM AF488-SA-E07; 30 min at 4 °C), as part of AF488-SA-E07 complexes, enables specific fluorescent staining of EGFR-positive A431 cells, and the AF488 signal can be reversed with mA9 antidote to allow subsequent restaining of cells with alternative SA-aptamer complexes[1].
AF488 streptavidin (15 min) produces lower total fluorescence signal when labeling EGFR on live A431 cells than the laccase-mediated CARD approach using AF488-FA[2].
