CellMask™ Green Actin Tracking Stain

Description

• Stain and track intracellular F-actin with CellMask Green Actin Tracking Stain in live or fixed cells in immunofluorescence (IF), immunocytochemistry (ICC), and immunohistochemistry (IHC) protocols, and in 3D cell culture
• The CellMask Green Actin Tracking Stain fluorescently labels polymerized/filamentous actin (F-actin) in live or fixed cells because it is designed to readily permeate live cells, resulting in bright and uniform labeling
• CellMask Green Actin Tracking Stain can be used to track F-actin in live cells for 24 hours or more
• Live cells stained with CellMask Green Actin Tracking Stain can be fixed; the stain can also be used on already fixed cells
• Cell Mask Green Actin Tracking Stain can be multiplexed with antibodies in IF, ICC, and IHC protocols, and can also be used in 3D cell culture for 3D imaging
• Features of Cell Mask Green Actin Tracking Stain include: • Stains F-actin in live or fixed cells for fluorescence 2D monolayer or 3D imaging experiments • Can be multiplexed with antibodies in IF/ICC/IHC experiments • Fluorescence maxima (Excitation/Emission): 503/512 nm; can be detected with FITC/GFP filter CellMask actin tracking stains are available in three colors: green (Cat
• No
• A57243, A57246) detected with a FITC/GFP filter (Ex 503 nm/Em 512 nm), orange (Cat
• No
• A57244, A57247), detected with a TRITC/RFP filter (Ex 545 nm/Em 570 nm), and deep red (Cat
• No
• A57245, A57248) detected with a CY5/Deep Red filter (Ex 652 nm/Em 669 nm)
• CellMask actin tracking stains detect F-actin with a targeting structure that closely resembles jasplakinolide
• They do not label globular actin (G-actin) or monomer actin (M-actin)
• CellMask actin tracking stains easily pass through live cell membranes and are retained within live cells after loading
• As demonstrated in the figures below, incubation with CellMask actin tracking stains has no detectable effect on viability of various cell lines after 24 hours of incubation
• CellMask actin tracking stains detect F-actin in live cells or tissue, which can then be fixed
• In addition, CellMask actin tracking stains can be used to detect F-Actin in paraformaldehyde fixed cells or tissue (freshly fixed or cryo frozen only) and can be multiplexed with antibody detection
• CellMask actin tracking stains can also be used in 3D cell culture for 3D imaging.
