PE-Cy7 is a popular color used in flow cytometry. Its primary absorption peak is at 565 nm with emission peak at 780 nm. AAT Bioquest offers this preactivated PE-Cy7 to facilitate the PE-Cy7 tandem conjugations to antibodies and other proteins such as streptavidin and other secondary reagents. Our preactivated PE-Cy7 tandem is ready to conjugate, giving much higher yield than the conventionally tedious SMCC-based conjugation chemistry. In addition, our preactivated PE-Cy7 tandem is conjugated to a protein via its amino group that is abundant in proteins while SMCC chemistry targets the thiol group that has to be regenerated by the reduction of antibodies.
Components
Example protocol
AT A GLANCE
Important PE-Cy7 Tandem was premodified with our Buccutite™ FOL. Your antibody (or other proteins) is modified with our Buccutite™ MTA to give MTA-modified protein. The MTA-modified protein readily reacts with FOL-modified PE-Cy7 Tandem (provided) to give the desired PE-Cy7 Tandem-antibody conjugate.
SAMPLE EXPERIMENTAL PROTOCOL
Preparation of pre-activated Antibody with Buccutite™ MTA
- Reconstitute Buccutite™ MTA in DMSO at ~10 mg/mL.
Note Store unused MTA at -20 °C; it can be used for up to two freeze and thaw cycles. - Prepare target antibody (Ab) in pH = 8.5 - 9.0 buffer at a concentration above 1 mg/ml.
- Add the MTA to Ab solution at the ratio of 8 - 10 µg MTA/100 µg Ab.
- Mix well and react at room temperature for 60 minutes, rotating during the reaction.
- Purify the reaction mixture with a desalting column to remove any unreacted MTA. Exchange the buffer to PBS or another buffer of your choice.
- Collect the MTA-activated Ab. Estimate the concentration by 70% yield of the original starting amount.
Conjugate with Pre-activated PE-Cy7 Tandem
- Reconstitute pre-activated PE-Cy7 Tandem in 100 µL ddH2O to 10 mg/mL.
Note Reconstituted pre-activated PE-Cy7 Tandem is not stable and can not be stored for more than one month. - Add pre-activated PE-Cy7 Tandem directly to MTA-activated target Ab solution at the ratio of 300 µg PE-Cy7 Tandem/100 µg MTA-activated Ab.
- Rotate the mixture for 1 - 2 hours at room temperature.
- The Ab/PE-Cy7 Tandem conjugates are now ready to use.
Note The antibody conjugate should be stored at >0.5 mg/mL in the presence of a carrier protein (e.g., 0.1% bovine serum albumin) and 0.02-0.05% sodium azide.
Note The Ab/PE-Cy7 Tandem can be stored at 4 °C for two months. - Optional: Ab/PE-Cy7 Tandem can be further purified through size exclusion chromatography to get better performance.

Figure 1. Our preactivated PE-Cy7 Tandem was premodified with our Buccutite™ FOL (provided). Your antibody (or other proteins) is modified with our Buccutite™ MTA (provided as free sample) to give MTA-modified protein (such as antibody). The MTA-modified protein readily reacts with FOL-modified PE-Cy7 Tandem (provided) to give the desired PE-Cy7 Tandem-antibody conjugate in much higher yield than the SMCC chemistry. In addition our preactivated PE-Cy7 Tandem reacts with MTA-modified biopolymers at much lower concentrations than the SMCC chemistry.
