Invitrogen™ pHrodo™ Red Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) Conjugate

Invitrogen™ pHrodo™ Red Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) Conjugate

pHrodo Red Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) Conjugate is used for the detection of internalized EGF receptor in cells. Fluorescently labeled EGF has enabled scientists to investigate receptor-membrane interactions, study receptor distribution, calculate rate constants for the interaction of EGF with its receptor, and more. Fluorescent labels that respond to a pH change add another level of detection. pHrodo Red is weakly fluorescent outside of cells at neutral pH, but when internalized specifically through EGF endocytosis, it becomes brightly fluorescent in the acidic endosomes. This allows the measurement of internalized EGF, as well as the dynamic monitoring of EGF internalization in live cells. pHrodo Red Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) Conjugate is compatible with various platforms, such as traditional fluorescence microscopy, high content screening (HCS), flow cytometery, and microplate-based fluorimetry or high throughput screening (HTS). This reagent is also compatible with various benchtop instruments such as the Evos, FLoid, Tali, and Attune instruments
