Product Information

DNA plasmid encoding for anti-Lamin VHH (anti-Lamin Nanobody) fused to TagGFP2.

DescriptionThe Lamin-Chromobody visualizes the nuclear lamina.

• Easily transfect your cells with the Lamin-Chromobody plasmid

• Visualize the nuclear lamina without interfering with its cellular functions

• Monitor the nuclear integrity and morphology during live cell microscopy

ApplicationsTrace the nuclear lamina in live cells in real-time
Monitor the nuclear integrity and morphology
Use the Lamin-Chromobody® as a biosensor for real-time assays of mitosis or apoptosis
Specificity/TargetLamin A/C, tested in human cell lines (HeLa, U2OS) and insect S2 cells.

SelectionKan/Neo
SequenceWith the Lamin-Chromobody plasmid you receive the sequence information of the Alpaca antibody to Lamin fused to TagGFP2, as well as the full vector sequence.
TransfectionTransfection of Chromobody plasmids into mammalian cells can be done with standard DNA-transfection methods, e.g. lipofection (Lipofectamine 2000® from Thermo Scientific), according to the manufacturer’s protocol for the transfection reagent. Please choose the transfection method that works the best for your cell type.
Microscopy techniquesWide-field epifluorescence microscopy; confocal microscopy
Storage ConditionShipped at ambient temperature. Store at -20 °C
