Alexa Fluor™ 430 is a bright, green-fluorescent dye. Used for stable signal generation in imaging and flow cytometry, Alexa Fluor™ 430 dye is water soluble and pH-insensitive from pH 4 to pH 10. In addition to reactive dye formulations, we offer Alexa Fluor™ 430 dye conjugated to a variety of antibodies, peptides, proteins, tracers, and amplification substrates optimized for cellular labeling and detection.

The NHS ester (or succinimidyl ester) of Alexa Fluor™ 430 is the most popular tool for conjugating this dye to a protein or antibody. NHS esters can be used to label to the primary amines (R-NH2) of proteins, amine-modified oligonucleotides, and other amine-containing molecules. The resulting Alexa Fluor™ conjugate will exhibit brighter fluorescence and greater photostability than the conjugates of other spectrally similar fluorophores.

Detailed information about this AlexaFluor™ NHS ester:

Fluorophore label: Alexa Fluor™ 430 dye
Reactive group: NHS ester
Reactivity: Primary amines on proteins and ligands, amine-modified oligonucleotides
Ex/Em of the conjugate: 430/545 nm
Extinction coefficient: 15,000 cm-1M-1
Molecular weight: 701.8

Typical Conjugation Reaction
You can conjugate amine-reactive reagents with virtually any protein or peptide (the provided protocol is optimized for IgG antibodies). You can scale the reaction for any amount of protein, but the concentration of the protein should be at least 2 mg/mL for optimal results. We recommend trying three different degrees of labeling, using three different molar ratios of the reactive reagent to protein.

The Alexa Fluor™ NHS ester is typically dissolved in high-quality anhydrous dimethylformamide (DMF) or dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) (D12345), and the reaction is carried out in 0.1–0.2 M sodium bicarbonate buffer, pH 8.3, at room temperature for 1 hour. Because the pKa of the terminal amine is lower than that of the lysine epsilon-amino group, you may achieve more selective labeling of the amine terminus using a buffer closer to neutral pH.

Conjugate Purification
Labeled antibodies are typically separated from free Alexa Fluor™ dye using a gel filtration column, such as Sephadex™ G-25, BioGel™ P-30, or equivalent. For much larger or smaller proteins, select a gel filtration media with an appropriate molecular weight cut-off or purify by dialysis. We offer several purification kits optimized for different quantities of antibody conjugate:
Antibody Conjugate Purification Kit for 0.5-1 mg (A33086)
Antibody Conjugate Purification Kit for 20-50 μg (A33087)
Antibody Conjugate Purification kit for 50-100 μg (A33088)

常見問答集 (常見問題)

I am labeling a protein with Alexa Fluor 488 SDP ester. The manual recommends using a sodium bicarbonate buffer at pH 8.3. Can I use a different buffer instead?

Yes. The important thing is to use a buffered solution with a pH between 8.0 and 8.5. Do not use Tris buffer, which has amine groups. Most other buffers will work fine in that pH range. This is also true for other amine-reactive dyes, such as succinimidyl (NHS) esters or TFP esters.

I am not going to use all of my Alexa Fluor succinimidyl ester reactive dye. Can I just make it up in DMSO and store aliquots at -20 degrees C?

This is not recommended. Any trace amounts of water in the DMSO can promote spontaneous hydrolysis over time. Even if using anhydrous DMSO, DMSO is hygroscopic; it readily absorbs moisture from the atmosphere over time. A better alternative is to dissolve the reactive dye in a volatile solvent, make smaller aliquots and then evaporate off the solvent using a vacuum pump. The smaller aliquots of solid reactive dye should then be stored frozen, desiccated and protected from light. Contact Technical Support by sending an email to techsupport@thermofisher.com for the recommended volatile solvent.

Abstract
Small heat shock protein Hsp16.3 modulates its chaperone activity by adjusting the rate of oligomeric dissociation.
Authors:Fu X, Liu C, Liu Y, Feng X, Gu L, Chen X, Chang Z
Journal:Biochem Biophys Res Commun
PubMed ID:14521926
'Small heat shock proteins usually exist as oligomers and appear to undergo dynamic dissociation/reassociation, with oligomeric dissociation being a prerequisite for their chaperone activities. However, contradictory cases were also reported that chaperone activities could be enhanced with no change or even increase in oligomeric sizes. Using Hsp16.3 as a model ... More

Severe arenaviral infections in humans are characterized by clinical findings common to other viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs), including thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, skin and internal organ hemorrhages, high viral replication, splenic necrosis, and death. Host responses, rather than direct damage by the arenaviral replication, account for most of the observed pathology, but ... More

In SIV/HIV infection, the gastrointestinal tissue dominates as an important site because of the impact of massive mucosal CD4 depletion and immune activation-induced tissue pathology. Unlike AIDS-susceptible rhesus macaques, natural hosts do not progress to AIDS and resolve immune activation earlier. Here, we examine the role of dendritic cells (DCs) ... More
