Anti-ZsGreen Antibody
Our Anti-ZsGreen chicken polyclonal primary antibody from Aves Labs is produced in-house. It detects ZsGreen, ZsGreen1, ZsGreen1-DR and other fluorescent proteins derived from ZsGreen. It is affinity-purified IgY and is great for use in ICC, IHC, WB.
Immunofluorescent staining of ZsGreen-transfected COS-7 cells using Aves Labs chicken polyclonal anti-ZsGreen antibody (red, Cat No. ZSGREEN-0100) and showing ZsGreen autofluorescence (green). The cells were fixed with 3% paraformaldehyde, washed with PBS, and blocked/permeabilized with 5% non-fat milk powder in PBST. The anti-ZsGreen chicken polyclonal antibody (Cat No. ZSGREEN-0100) was incubated with the sample at a dilution of 1:500 (0.4μg/mL) or 1:1000 (0.2 μg/mL) at 4C overnight. After washing with PBST, the cells were stained using goat anti-chicken IgY CF594 secondary antibody (Cat No. 80-1001-594) (red). The staining revealed a complete overlap between the signal from the chicken anti-ZsGreen antibody and the ZsGreen autofluorescence in transfected cells. The cells were mounted with Antibodies Incorporated Fluoroshield with DAPI mounting medium (Cat No. AR-6501). DAPI nuclear stain (blue) shows cell nuclei.

Product Details
ZsGreen
ZsGreen (also known as ZsGreen1 or zFP506) is an exceptionally bright green fluorescent protein derived from the reef coral Zoanthus sp. Exhibiting an excitation peak at 493 nm and a strong emission peak at 516 nm, ZsGreen provides significantly higher fluorescence intensity and photostability than conventional EGFP, making it a popular reporter in Cre-Lox recombination models (such as Ai6 mice), viral vector transduction assays, and lineage tracing experiments. However, because native ZsGreen forms an obligate tetramer, tag-specific antibodies are critical tools for detection. High-affinity anti-ZsGreen antibodies enable sensitive signal amplification, precise immunofluorescence (IF) visualization without relying solely on native fluorescence, and robust detection in Western blot (WB), immunohistochemistry (IHC), and immunoprecipitation (IP) applications where harsh fixation or denaturation may quench the native chromophore.

Store at 4°C in the dark. Under these conditions, the antibodies should have a shelf life of at least twelve months, provided they remain sterile. For longer term storage, aliquot and freeze to avoid freeze-thaw of the antibody.
Liquid
Eggs from hens hyperimmunized with target were used to prepare an IgY fraction which was then subjected to antigen-specific affinity purification.
Phosphate-buffered (10 mM) isotonic (0.9%, w/v) saline (“PBS," pH 7.2) with sodium azide (0.02%, w/v) added as a preservative.

Unconjugated
Antibody recognizes ZsGreen, ZsGreen1 and ZsGreen1-DR owing to them all being derived from same fluorescent protein.
Each new lot of this antibody is tested to confirm that it recognizes a single immunoreactive band of expected molecular weight when used in Western blot.
These antibodies are to be used as research laboratory reagents and are not for use as diagnostic or therapeutic reagents in humans.
