pE2-Crimson-C1 is a mammalian expression vector designed to express a protein of interest fused to the C-terminus of E2-Crimson, our brightest and fastest-maturing far-red Living Colors fluorescent protein. E2-Crimson was derived from DsRed-Express2, and retains its fast maturation, high photostability, increased solubility, and low cytotoxicity. The unmodified vector can be used to express E2-Crimson in mammalian cells. If required, stable transfectants can be selected using G418.
Overview
Far-red fluorescent protein
E2-Crimson fluorescent protein excitation and emission maxima: 611 and 646 nm, respectively
Schematic for fluorescent fusion protein vectors.Panel A. N-terminal fluorescent protein (FP) vector. Panel B. C-terminal fluorescent protein vector.
E2-Crimson is useful for confocal and STED (stimulated emission depletion) microscopy
E2-Crimson is useful for confocal and STED (stimulated emission depletion) microscopy. The mammalian ER was imaged by conventional confocal microscopy (left) or by STED microscopy (right) with 635 nm excitation and a STED wavelength of 760 nm. The scale bar is 1 μm.
