CD4 Fab-Strep, human

CD4 Fab-Strep is a recombinantly expressed low affinity Fab fragment fused to a Twin-Strep-tag®. Fab-Streps were developed for Traceless Affinity Cell Selection (Fab-TACS®), which is based on our Strep-tag® technology. Due to their low affinity for the target, an increase in avidity is required to ensure sufficient binding to the cell surface. Combining Fab-Streps with a Strep-Tactin® backbone leads to the formation of complexes that stably bind to cells.

Depending on the Strep-Tactin® backbone, the following applications are possible:
• Fluorescent cell staining & sorting: Fab-Streps are combined with fluorophore-conjugated Strep-Tactin®.
• Magnetic cell isolation: Fab-Streps are combined with Strep-Tactin® Magnetic Microbeads.
• Affinity chromatographic cell isolation: Fab-Streps are loaded in Strep-Tactin® TACS Agarose columns.

By addition of biotin, the labeling reagents dissociate mildly and rapidly from the selected target cells in all applications, yielding minimally manipulated cells for unbiased further use.
