Scientific Data Images for GFP Antibody

Western Blot: GFP Antibody [NBP2-50059]

Western Blot: GFP Antibody [NBP2-50059]

Western Blot: GFP Antibody [NBP2-50059] - Analysis of lysates of transfected HEK293 using rabbit pAb to GFP, NBP2-50059, in green, dilution 1:2,000. [1] protein standard, [2] non-transfected control cells, [3] cells transfected with a GFP construct, and [4] cells transfected with mCherry construct. Strong band at ~27kDa corresponds to GFP protein detected only in cells transfected with GFP construct, the antibody does not recognize mCherry. The same blot was simultaneously probed with mouse mAb to beta-tubulin, dilution 1:10,000, in red. The single band ~50kDa represents beta-tubulin protein expressed in all preparations.
Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence: GFP Antibody [NBP2-50059]

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence: GFP Antibody [NBP2-50059]

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: GFP Antibody [NBP2-50059] - Immunofluorescent analysis of transfected HEK293 cells with a GFP construct, in green, and stained with rabbit pAb to GFP, NBP2-50059, dilution 1:2,000 in red. The blue is Hoechst staining of nuclear DNA. The GFP antibody reveals GFP protein expressed only in transfected cells, and as a result these cells appear orange-yellow in color.

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).
