Scientific Data Images for GFP Antibody

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence: GFP Antibody [NBP2-50034]

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence: GFP Antibody [NBP2-50034]

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: GFP Antibody [NBP2-50034] - Analysis of transfected HEK293 cells with a GFP-construct, in green, and stained with chicken pAb to GFP, NBP2-50034, dilution 1:1,000, in red. The blue is DAPI staining of nuclear DNA. NBP2-50034 antibody reveals GFP protein expressed only in transfected cells, and as a result these cells appear golden yellow in color.
GFP Antibody [NBP2-50034] - Analysis of HEK293 cell lysates using goat pAb to GFP, dilution 1:1,000 (Green): [1] protein standard, [2] non-transfected control cells, [3] cells transfected with a GFP construct and [4] cells transfected with an mCherry construct. Strong band at ~27kDa corresponds to GFP protein detected only in cells transfected with GFP construct. This antibody does not recognize the mCherry protein. The blot was simultaneously probed with chicken pAb to HSP60, dilution 1:10,000 (Red). The single band at 60kDa represents HSP60 protein expressed in all preparations.

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).
