PODS® mCherry, 25 µg

PODS® proteins are made using an insect cell expression system in which the active protein is co-expressed alongside polyhedrin carrier protein. Polyhedrin forms microcrystals within insect cells which specifically capture the active protein to form a co-crystal complex. The active protein is captured in its nascent, natively folded form with limited scope for proteolytic degradation. Consequently, excellent levels of bioactivity are observed. The PODS® co-crystals provide a sustained release mechanism and can be used to functionalize surfaces. For further details, please refer to the PODS® Technology page.

The product contains polyhedrin protein co-crystalized with mCherry. mCherry is a uniquely versatile biomarker and, encased into PODS® crystals, offers a simple way to visualize und localize PODS® crystals embedded in biomaterials, such as hydrogels and scaffolds, using fluorescence microscopy. PODS® mCherry crystals can be excited at 587 nm and optimally detected at 610 nm, compatible with commonly available filter sets.
