General Description

Anti-Cy3/Cy5 antibody, Mouse monoclonal, (mouse IgG2a isotype) is derived from the hybridoma CY-96 produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells (NS1 cells) and splenocytes from Balb/c mice immunized with a mixture of proteins labeled with Cy3 or Cy5.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cy 3 and Cy5 are the most popular cyanine dyes, used combined for two color detection. Cy3 dyes are fluorescent orange while Cy5 is fluorescent in the red region. Cyanine belonging to polymethine group. CyDyes are a family of fluorophores that can be used for labeling proteins, peptides, DNA, RNA, and other biomolecules. These dyes are small, pH insensitive, soluble in aqueous solution and are tolerant to DMSO. They are more photostable than fluorescein, have high molar extinction coefficients and favorable quantum yields. Mainly Cy3 and Cy5 are used in many different biological assays such as DNA microarrays, protein microarrays, two-dimensional protein analysis (2D gels), fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), and immunocytochemistry.
