iFluor® 488 PSA™ Imaging Kit with Goat Anti-Mouse IgG

iFluor® 488 PSA™ Imaging Kit with Goat Anti-Mouse IgG enables amplified fluorescent detection of low-abundance targets in cells and tissues using mouse primary antibodies.

Enhanced Signal Amplification: PSA™ technology provides manufacturer-reported 10–50-fold higher fluorescence signals than conventional TSA reagents.
Spectral Properties: Excitation at 491 nm and emission at 516 nm.
HRP-Mediated Labeling: Enables localized covalent deposition of iFluor® 488 Styramide™ fluorophores.
Applications: Suitable for amplified immunofluorescence and immunohistochemical staining of cells and tissues.

Fluorescence IHC of formaldehyde-fixed, paraffin-embedded using PSA<strong> ™ </strong> and TSA amplified methods. Human lung adenocarcinoma positive tissue sections were stained with mouse anti-EpCam antibody and then followed by PSA™ method using iFluor 488™ PSA™ Imaging Kit with Goat Anti-Mouse IgG (Cat#45260) or TSA method using  Alexa Fluor® 488 tyramide  respectively.  Images showed that PSA™ super signal amplification can increase the sensitivity of fluorescence IHC over Alexa Fluor® 488 TSA method. Cell nucleus were stained with Nuclear Blue™ DCS1 (Cat#17548).

Overview

Power Styramide™ Signal Amplification (PSA™) system is one of the most sensitive methods that can detect extremely low-abundance targets in cells and tissues with improved fluorescence signal 10-50 times higher than the widely used tyramide (TSA) reagents. In combination with our superior iFluor® dyes that have higher florescence intensity, increased photostability and enhanced water solubility, the iFluor® dye-labeled Styramide™ conjugates can generate fluorescence signal with significantly higher precision and sensitivity (more than 100 times) than standard ICC/IF/IHC. PSA™ utilizes the catalytic activity of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) for covalent deposition of fluorophores in situ. PSA™ radicals have much higher reactivity than tyramide radicals, making the PSA™ system much faster, more robust and sensitive than the traditional TSA reagents. Compared to tyramide reagents, the Styramide™ conjugates have ability to label the target at higher efficiency and thus generate significantly higher fluorescence signal. Styramide™ conjugates also allow significantly less consumption of primary antibody compared to standard directly conjugate method or tyramide amplification with the same level of sensitivity. iFluor® 488 PSA™ kit is a much superior replacement for Alexa Fluor 488 tyramide-based kit or other spectrally similar fluorescent tyramide or TSA kits.
