Recombinant RFP (wild type, sequence corresponding to RFP, Discosoma spp.) is intended for use as a control when using polyclonal or monoclonal RFP in immunological assays, in fluorometry, and in fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS). Polyclonal RFP can detect RFP by ELISA and western blot. Biotin conjugated polyclonal RFP used in a sandwich ELISA is well suited to titrate RFP in solution when used in combination with unconjugated RFP. This product can be used as a control in western blots.
