Labeling Actin: Phalloidin vs. Antibody Conjugates

Fluorescent-labeled phalloidin is enormously useful in localizing actin filaments in living or fixed cells as well as for visualizing individual actin filaments in vitro. In comparison to antibodies, phalloidin-dye conjugates are smaller, so labeling does not impede cell function. This small size also permits much denser labeling, which allows for more detailed images at higher resolutions.
 
Although a wide range of options are available, for multicolor imaging applications green color conjugates are the most popular. Fluorescein is a classic choice, with Alexa Fluor® 488 and the newest high performing Phalloidin-iFluor® 488 conjugates providing brighter signal with greater photostability.
 
For help in transitioning your workflow from older protocols for modern labels, our scientists are available for technical support.
