Molecular Structure of CellVue Dyes
CellVue dyes consist of long aliphatic hydrocarbon tails linked to a polar fluorescent chromophore.
These extremely lipophilic fluorescent dyes rapidly and stably integrate into the phospholipid membrane of cells or other membrane-containing bioparticles by non-covalent interactions.
The dyes are stably maintained within the lipid bilayer through strong hydrophobic interactions and do not transfer into the unstained membranes of adjacent cells, which permits a labeled cell to be tracked for extended periods of time.
The rapid incorporation of the dye allows for immediate analysis of cell functions without a waiting period.

Use Near-Infrared Click Chemistry Reagents for Biomolecule Labeling
Biomolecule labeling continues to be a cornerstone feature of many in vitro and in vivo biological experiments. Click Chemistry has become convenient and reliable method for labeling a wide variety of molecules for applications ranging from biomarker isolation to assay development.
Click Chemistry reagents from LI-COR offer several benefits:
Versatile alternatives to affinity-based detection
Chemoselectivity and easy-to-perform, high yielding reactions
Flexibility with a choice for copper-catalyzed and copper-free reactions
Click Chemistry Reactions
Click Chemistry utilizes pairs of reagents that exclusively react with each other and are effectively inert to naturally occurring functional groups such as amines.
Click Chemistry reactions can be categorized into two separate groups, copper-catalyzed or copper-free. Copper-catalyzed Click Chemistry is used for initiating reactions between azides and alkynes. Although they initiate and accelerate Click Reactions, copper catalysts are cytotoxic and inappropriate for use in living systems.
To address this limitation, copper-free methods have been developed to allow Click Chemistry with live cells and whole organisms.
Reagents > 4X Protein Sample Loading Buffer for Western Blots
4X Protein Sample Loading Buffer is optimized for use as a loading buffer for protein gel electrophoresis. This orange loading buffer is recommended for use with Odyssey® Imaging Systems as it does not fluoresce in the 700 nm channel the way blue loading buffers do. The buffer is optimized for use with SDS-PAGE and Tris-Glycine-SDS running buffer.
Mobility shift assay protocols can be easily converted to infrared fluorescent assays by replacing the existing DNA oligonucleotides with IRDye® infrared dye end-labeled oligonucleotides. Binding and electrophoresis conditions are the same as any other EMSA detection method.
A DNA oligonucleotide end-labeled with IRDye 700 infrared dye is a good substrate for protein binding. Using the Odyssey® Infrared Imaging System, IRDye infrared dye labeled DNA detection is linear within a 50-fold dilution range from 9.1 fmol to 0.18 fmol.
通过用 IRDye® 红外染料末端标记的寡核苷酸替换现有的 DNA 寡核苷酸,迁移率变化分析方案可以轻松转换为红外荧光分析。 结合和电泳条件与任何其他 EMSA 检测方法相同。
用 IRDye 700 红外染料末端标记的 DNA 寡核苷酸是蛋白质结合的良好底物。 使用 Odyssey® 红外成像系统,IRDye 红外染料标记的 DNA 检测在 9.1 fmol 至 0.18 fmol 的 50 倍稀释范围内是线性的。
Perform NIR Fluorescent EMSA and Save Time
Infrared fluorescent assays can be completed in less than two hours with no gel transfer or film exposure. The gel doesn’t even have to be removed from the glass plates for imaging. If you are not satisfied that the electrophoresis has progressed far enough, you can place the gel back into the electrophoresis unit and run longer.
Other IRDye 700 oligonucleotides as well as IRDye 800 oligonucleotides are available through Integrated DNA Technologies, TriLink BioTechnologies, or Metabion International AG.

Reagents > 4X Protein Sample Loading Buffer and PVDF Membrane Kit
4X Protein Sample Loading Buffer (P/N 928-40004) is optimized for use as a loading buffer for protein gel electrophoresis. This orange-colored loading buffer has no dyes that may cause background as compare to other loading buffers with a blue dye component that can increase background.
The Immobilon®-FL PVDF membrane included in these kits has been tested to ensure a low-background for near-infrared fluorescent Western blot success.
Perform Fast, Cost-Effective Cell-Based Western Assays
The In-Cell Western Assay is an immunocytochemical assay that uses fluorescence to detect and quantify proteins in cells that have been cultured in microplates. Detecting proteins in their cellular context increases quantification precision.
This process allows for higher throughput compared to Western blotting and eliminates typical Western blotting steps such as cell lysate preparation, electrophoresis, and membrane transfer. Cost per well is reduced to a fraction of the cost of typical screening methods with CellTag™ Stain In-Cell Western Kits.
CellTag Stains are a fluorescent, non-specific cell stain that provides accurate normalization to cell number for In-Cell Western applications. The stain accumulates in both the nucleus and cytoplasm of permeabilized cells and provides linear fluorescent signal across a wide range of cell types and cell numbers. CellTag Stains are applied to the cells during incubation with IRDye® Secondary Antibodies and enable accurate measurement of target protein levels with much higher throughput than Western blotting.
In-Cell Western 检测是一种免疫细胞化学检测,它使用荧光检测和量化微孔板中培养的细胞中的蛋白质。在细胞环境中检测蛋白质可提高定量精度。
与蛋白质印迹法相比,该过程允许更高的通量,并消除了典型的蛋白质印迹法步骤,例如细胞裂解物制备、电泳和膜转移。使用 CellTag™ Stain In-Cell Western Kits 将每孔成本降低到典型筛选方法成本的一小部分。
CellTag 染色剂是一种荧光非特异性细胞染色剂,可为 In-Cell Western 应用提供准确的细胞数标准化。该染料在透化细胞的细胞核和细胞质中积累,并在各种细胞类型和细胞数量中提供线性荧光信号。在与 IRDye® 二抗孵育期间将 CellTag Stains 应用于细胞,并能够以比蛋白质印迹高得多的通量准确测量靶蛋白水平。
IRDye Infrared Fluorescent Dyes and near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging deliver enhanced sensitivity due to low background autofluorescence in the near-infrared region and, therefore, higher signal-to-noise ratios.
IRDye Fluorescent Dyes have absorption and emission wavelengths in the NIR spectrum, between 680 and 800 nm. Most of the IRDye reagents are compatible with the Odyssey® DLx, Odyssey XF, Odyssey Sa, Pearl® Imagers, and 4300 DNA Analyzer platforms.
Standard NHS ester chemistry is used to produce custom probes labeled with LI-COR IRDye Infrared Dyes. The NHS ester reactive group provides the functionality for labeling primary and secondary amino groups.
Maleimides
IRDye maleimides provide the functionality for labeling molecules that contain free sulfhydryl (-SH) groups with IRDye Infrared Dyes. The reactive group of the IRDye maleimide allows conjugation reactions to be performed very efficiently at physiological pH.
Assays that use infrared dye conjugates (such as in vivo imaging and cell binding assays) may require a “dye-only” control for potential effects or retention of the dye. The carboxylate dye has no reactive group and cannot be used for labeling.
Carboxylate dye forms can serve as an ideal control for cell-based assays that monitor binding of a dye-labeled agent to validate optical agents for in vivo administration and to evaluate binding specificity. This dye form can also be used to evaluate the behavior and clearance of the dye itself and as a standard to determine the amount of unreacted (“free”) dye after conjugation and purification.
IRDye Protein Labeling Kits label antibodies, other proteins, and peptides for applications such as Western blots, In Cell Western™ assays, in vivo imaging, and whole organ or tissue section assays. Applications of dye-labeled conjugates vary, depending on the IRDye used for labeling.

It has the lowest background compared to LI-COR’s other 700 nm dyes and can be used for the widest variety of applications with little optimization. The NHS ester and maleimide forms of this infrared dye are ideal for labeling proteins, peptides, and antibodies. LI-COR offers a variety of IRDye 680RD dyes, labeling kits and secondary antibodies.
IRDye 680LT
IRDye 680LT is significantly brighter and more photostable than many other 700 nm near-infrared dyes such as Alexa Fluor® 680. It provides superior performance for protein detection applications, including microscopy and Western blot applications. LI-COR offers a variety of IRDye 680LT dyes, labeling kits, and secondary antibodies. When using IRDye 680LT secondary antibodies for Western blot detection, it is critical to follow the recommendations in the pack insert. Dilution optimization may be required to achieve best results.

IRDye Infrared Dyes are Optimized for Near-Infrared Fluorescent Detection
IRDye Near-Infrared Dyes are optimized for excitation and detection in the near-infrared spectrum, providing numerous benefits.
Low background autofluorescence allows higher signal to noise ratios (see Figure 1)
Wide range of dyes and functional groups available for multiple applications
LI-COR offers IRDye 800CW that has been manufactured under current good manufacturing practices (cGMP) and is available for conjugation to targeted biomolecules for investigational use in clinical trials. In September of 2007, LI-COR Biosciences announced the successful completion of animal toxicity studies of its IRDye 800CW infrared dye carboxylic acid using a protocol reviewed by the Food and Drug Administration. The completion of the toxicity studies was a key milestone in the development of the IRDye 800CW dye for potential clinical imaging use. The complete report was published in 2010 and is available to the public. In addition, drug master files (DMF) are on record with U.S. and European regulatory authorities.
LI-COR IRDye Infrared Fluorescent Dyes are used for protein and cellular assays, microscopy, and in vivo molecular imaging in animals for research purposes. IRDye 800CW is cited in a wide variety of published non-clinical research for labeling nucleic acids, antibodies, proteins, and peptides where there is a need for high signal, low background imaging. With an 800nm emission wavelength, the IRDye 800CW dye is spectrally ideal for animal imaging research.
While the IRDye 800CW dye has successfully completed toxicity studies, it has not been studied for diagnostic or therapeutic use in humans, and has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for this use. LI-COR is exploring options for additional studies as next steps in the Food and Drug Administration approval process leading toward clinical use.
LI-COR IRDye Infrared Dyes are Being Used in Clinical Trials
IRDye 800CW conjugated probes and agents have propelled more than 20 Phase I and Phase II clinical trials, To learn more about LI-COR infrared dye conjugates being used in clinical trials, visit Probe Development Clinical Applications.

Applications vary depending on the IRDye infrared dye selected for labeling. Please refer to specific dye page to find out which applications apply to each IRDye NHS ester.
IRDye reactive dyes bear an N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) reactive group that couples to free amino groups and forms a stable conjugate. Proteins other than IgG antibodies can be labeled, but protocol adjustment and optimization may be necessary.
IRDye labeling kits are based on a simple conjugation protocol that uses fast, spin column cleanup with resulting purity equivalent to purification by dialysis. Simply dissolve the protein in the provided buffer, combine it with the appropriate amount of water-soluble amine-reactive IRDye, and separate the labeled conjugate from the free dye using the included spin columns. Labeling and purification are complete in approximately 2 hours.
For more information, refer to the IRDye Peptide Labeling Application Guide.
Streptavidin binds to biotin very strongly and is used to detect biotinylated proteins.
Fluorescent dye-labeled streptavidins can be used as a secondary detection reagent for microscopy, protein arrays, In-Gel Westerns, and Western blotting.
All streptavidins are supplied as a liquid in buffer containing 10 mM phosphate, 183 mM NaCl, 2.7 nM KCl, pH 7.4 with sodium azide 0.005% (w/v) as a preservative.
To use, centrifuge briefly before use to eliminate aggregates that may have formed in solution. For IRDye® Streptavidin, a final concentration of 0.2 to 1.0 µg/ml (1:1,000 to 1:5,000) is usually satisfactory for most applications. For VRDye™ Streptavidin, a concentration of 1:2,000 to 1:5,000 is usually satisfactory for Western blotting. However, appropriate dilution may need to be determined empirically.
For membrane-based applications and In-Gel Westerns, it is recommended to add SDS (0.02% to 0.1% final concentration), in addition to Tween® 20 (0.1 to 0.2% final concentration) during the detection incubation step to reduce non-specific background staining.

Evaluate Sample Loading Consistency and Uniformity with Odyssey Loading Indicators
Odyssey Loading Indicators (OLI) provide a simple, convenient method to evaluate the consistency of sample loading volume across gel lanes, as well as the uniformity of Western blot transfer.
It is essential to have consistent sample loading between gel lanes for comparative and quantitative Western blot analysis. By adding equal amounts of an Odyssey Loading Indicator, you can determine if loading was consistent or if a pipetting error occurred.
Evaluate Consistency. Ensure samples were equally loaded in each lane.
Check Uniform Transfer. Confirm that transfer from gel to membrane was uniform.
Assess Stable Expression. Help determine if a housekeeping protein is stably expressed and can be used for Western blot normalization.
Note: Accurate normalization relies on an internal loading control, an endogenous protein used as an indicator of sample concentration. Since the OLI is an exogenous protein, it functions as an external loading control, and cannot be used for normalization. However, you can use OLI to help check if your internal loading control is stably expressed.
Visit our Western blot Normalization page for more information on Western blot normalization strategies.
Assess Stable Expression of Housekeeping Proteins for Normalization
If you’re using a housekeeping protein to normalize Western blot data, you must validate that its expression is constant across all samples and is unaffected by experimental conditions. As an exogenous protein, the Odyssey Loading Indicator is not subject to up- or down-regulation as a function of experimental sample treatment. A stable signal for an OLI across several lanes indicates that any signal variation for the housekeeping protein was not caused by inconsistent sample loading.
如果您使用看家蛋白来标准化蛋白质印迹数据,您必须验证其在所有样品中的表达是恒定的,并且不受实验条件的影响。 作为外源性蛋白质,Odyssey Loading Indicator 不受实验样品处理的上调或下调影响。 跨多个泳道的 OLI 信号稳定表明管家蛋白的任何信号变化都不是由不一致的样品加载引起的。
“‘House-keeping’ proteins should not be used for normalization without evidence that experimental manipulations do not affect their expression.”

Fluorescently Label Cells or Tissues for in vivo or in vitro Studies
CellVue® fluorescent imaging kits use proprietary labeling technology to stably incorporate fluorescent dyes containing long aliphatic hydrocarbon tails into lipid membranes.1 They are useful for researchers working in all aspects of science and technology where fluorescently-labeled cells and/or tissues are required. CellVue dyes also provide researchers with valuable tools for many in vivo and in vitro cell studies using fluorescent membrane labels.
CellVue dyes consist of long aliphatic hydrocarbon tails linked to a polar fluorescent chromophore.
These extremely lipophilic fluorescent dyes rapidly and stably integrate into the phospholipid membrane of cells or other membrane-containing bioparticles by non-covalent interactions
The dyes are stably maintained within the lipid bilayer through strong hydrophobic interactions and do not transfer into the unstained membranes of adjacent cells, which permits a labeled cell to be tracked for extended periods of time
The rapid incorporation of the dye allows for immediate analysis of cell functions without a waiting period
Molar extinction coefficient characteristics of water, hemoglobin and oxygenated hemoglobin (400-1000 nm). IRDye infrared dyes have ideal excitation/emission wavelengths for in vivo imaging.

When performing quantitative Western blots, internal loading controls and normalization are essential for reliable, precise comparison of protein expression. LI-COR offers several primary antibodies which can be used for two-color normalization when performing multiplex Western blots or for cell-based assay normalization, such as for In-Cell Western™ Assays.
For Western blots, lysate preparation, sample loading, and membrane transfer introduce unavoidable variation. After validation, housekeeping proteins (HKP) can be used for normalization of protein levels.
Normalize and correct for uneven loading, using the intensity of the internal loading control
Visually compare protein levels with confidence, even if you don’t quantify bands
Ensure that visually-observed changes in protein levels represent actual change, not artifacts
Read more about using a housekeeping protein as an internal loading control.
When using an HKP as your normalization strategy, it’s important to validate your HKP for each experiment to ensure its expression is stable. Many factors can influence expression including tissue, treatment, and cell density.
“‘House-keeping’ proteins should not be used for normalization without evidence that experimental manipulations do not affect their expression.”
The Housekeeping Protein Validation Protocol can help you validate that your HKP expression is not changing with treatment. The Housekeeping Protein Normalization Protocol will guide you through the right experimental steps and calculations for normalization using an HKP. Validating your HKP is the only way to know that expression is not affected by the conditions of your experiment
For In-Cell Western Assays, a second protein target (such as actin, tubulin, COX IV, or GAPDH) can be used for normalization. Abundance of the normalization target must be unaffected by the cell treatments used.
Learn more about ICW assay normalization methods.
Comparison of Housekeeping Loading Controls
The table below has a few examples of some common housekeeping proteins, their molecular weights, and a few considerations. This list is not complete, and any housekeeping protein you choose should be fully validated for your system under study.

Visible fluorescence protein labeling kits can be used to label antibodies and other proteins for applications such as flow cytometry, microscopy, immunohistochemistry, and other applications where fluorophore-conjugated antibodies are required.
The visible dyes included in these kits are activated with N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) esters, which is the most commonly used reactive group for labeling proteins. NHS esters react with primary amines, forming stable, covalent bonds.
VRDye™ labeling kits are based on a simple conjugation protocol that uses fast, spin column cleanup with resulting purity equivalent to purification by dialysis. Raise the pH of the preservative-free protein solution with the provided buffer, combine it with the appropriate amount of water-soluble amine-reactive dye, and separate the labeled conjugate from the free dye using the included spin columns. Labeling and purification are complete in approximately 2 hours.

After the addition of the DNA to the protein-buffer mix, reactions are incubated to allow protein binding to DNA. A typical incubation condition is 20-30 minutes at room temperature.
Since IRDye infrared dyes are somewhat sensitive to light, it is best to keep binding reactions in the dark during incubation periods (e.g., put the tubes into a drawer or simply cover the rack containing tubes with aluminum foil). After the incubation period, 10X Orange Loading Dye (P/N 927-10100) is added to the binding reaction for electrophoresis.
