Product Specifications

Immunogen

The immunogen is a Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) fusion protein corresponding to the full length amino acid sequence (246aa) derived from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria. (Uniprot: P42212)

Reactivity Notes

No reaction was observed against Human, or Rat serum proteins. Known Cross Reactivity: rGFP. YFP differs from GFP due to a mutation at Thr203Tyr; antibodies raised against full-length GFP should also detect YFP and other variants. Reactivity in transgenic mice with GFP. Reactivity in human cell lines transfected with a GFP construct.

Specificity

No reaction was observed against Human, Mouse and Rat Serum Proteins.

Description

For extended storage aliquot contents and freeze at -20C or below. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room

GFP Fluorescein Conjugated Antibody was prepared from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography using Green Fluorescent Protein (Aequorea victoria) coupled to agarose beads followed by solid phase adsorption(s) to remove any unwanted reactivities. Assay by immunoelectrophoresis resulted in a single precipitin arc against anti-Goat Serum, anti-Fluorescein and purified and partially purified Green Fluorescent Protein (Aequorea victoria)

Background: GFP

Green fluorescent protein (GFP) is a 27 kDa protein derived from the bioluminescent jellyfish Aquorea Victoria. GFP can be excited by light in the blue to ultraviolet spectrum and has an excitation peak at 395 nm with an emission peak at 509 nm in the green spectrum. GFP autocatalytically forms a fluorescent pigment from natural amino acids present in the nascent protein. GFP is widely used as a reporter (tag) for gene expression, enabling researchers to visualize and localize GFP-tagged proteins within living cells without the need for chemical staining. GFP fluorescence is stable under fixation conditions and antibodies are suitable for a variety of applications including ELISA, ICC/IF, IHC, IP and WB (1-3).
