Biochemical
Sulfo-TAG NHS ester does not target biological receptors. Its primary molecular target is primary amine groups (-NH₂) on proteins, particularly lysine residues, with which it forms stable amide bonds. The compound is a labeling reagent used to conjugate ruthenium-based chemiluminescent tags to antibodies, proteins, and other amine-containing biomolecules for detection in immunoassays and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) assays. |

Use Guidelines (The following is our recommended protocol. This is provided as a guide and should be modified according to your specific needs.)
1. Preparation of Working Solution Prepare Sulfo-Tag NHS-Ester at a concentration of 3 nmol/μL. 2. Antibody Labeling 1) For lyophilized antibodies, reconstitute directly with PBS buffer at pH 7.9. For antibodies in solution, perform buffer exchange using a Zeba desalting column with a 7,000 Da molecular weight cut-off, replacing the buffer with PBS at pH 7.9. 2) Determine the antibody concentration using a BCA protein assay kit and a microplate reader. 3) For the labeling step, add the 3 nmol/μL Sulfo-Tag NHS-Ester to the antibody at a molar ratio of 12:1, and mix for 2 hours at room temperature in the dark. 4) Use a Zeba desalting column to exchange the antibody buffer to PBS containing 0.05% sodium azide at pH 7.4. 5) Measure the absorbance of the protein conjugate at 455 nm using a NanoDrop to determine the labeling ratio of the sulfo-tag to the antibody. In vitro, Sulfo-TAG NHS ester is widely used for efficient antibody labeling by specifically conjugating to primary amine groups on proteins. It is a water-soluble labeling reagent used for bioconjugation and immunoassays. The NHS ester reacts with primary amines to form stable amide bonds, making it ideal for antibody functionalization. The ruthenium label provides electrochemiluminescent signal for detection in ECL-based assays such as immunoassays and nucleic acid detection. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo activity is not applicable as this compound is an in vitro labeling reagent and is not administered to living organisms. It is used for labeling antibodies and proteins for diagnostic and research applications. Its utility is in immunoassays and bioconjugation, not in therapeutic applications. The compound is not intended for in vivo administration.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro non-cellular labeling assays with Sulfo-TAG NHS ester typically involve: (1) prepare a solution of the protein or antibody to be labeled in PBS or borate buffer (pH 7.5-8.5); (2) dissolve Sulfo-TAG NHS ester in water or DMSO at a suitable concentration; (3) mix the labeling reagent with the protein solution at molar ratios of 1:5 to 1:20 (protein:label); (4) incubate at room temperature for 30-60 minutes or at 4°C for 2-4 hours; (5) remove unreacted label by dialysis, gel filtration, or ultrafiltration; (6) determine the labeling ratio by measuring absorbance at the ruthenium characteristic wavelength; and (7) assess the activity of the labeled protein by appropriate assays.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cell-based assays using Sulfo-TAG-labeled antibodies typically involve: (1) prepare Sulfo-TAG-labeled detection antibodies; (2) culture cells in appropriate medium; (3) fix and permeabilize cells if necessary; (4) incubate cells with primary antibody followed by Sulfo-TAG-labeled secondary antibody; (5) add ECL substrate; (6) measure chemiluminescent signal using a plate reader; (7) quantify target protein expression levels; and (8) compare results to standard curves for absolute quantification.
