Application Notes

Anti-IgG nanobodies often perform more efficiently than polyclonal secondary antibodies in various experimental assays. Therefore, they are recommended for various experimental procedures. Anti-IgG nanobodies were shown to be more sensitive during Western blots when conjugated with different molecules (HRP, fluorophores etc.) (Pleiner et al., 2018). Furthermore, combination of two distinct nanobodies for immunofluorescence labelling provided exceptionally clean and strong signal, unprecedented among monovalent secondary antibodies (Pleiner et al., 2018). Additionally, using such an antibody allows skipping two-step incubation procedures during immunostaing as the nanobody can be first incubated with a primary antibody and this conjugate might be added to the cells in a one-step procedure (Pleiner et al., 2018). Finally, such nanobodies have been recommended as very effective for colocalisation studies when more than one fluorophore is needed (Pleiner et al., 2018).
