Anti GFP

Not available outside of the UK & Ireland.

Application

Monoclonal antibody for detection of both wild-type and mutant forms of GFP or GFP fusions using: ImmunoprecipitationWestern blotsImmunostaining

Features and Benefits

ContentsMixture of two monoclonal antibodies, supplied as a white lyophilizatecontaining 200µg of total Anti-GFP IgG. Anti-GFP is a mixture of two clones (7.1 and 13.1).

General description

Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) is a spontaneously fluorescent 27kDa protein originally isolated from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria. The molecular cloning of the GFP gene and its subsequent expression in heterologous systems has established GFP as a valuable reporter molecule for in vivo visualization of gene expression events in a wide variety of cell types and organisms. Since, GFP requires no additional substrates or cofactors, GFP’;s green fluorescence can be easily detected using blue or UV light after expression in either prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells. In addition, several mutant forms of GFP with unique spectral properties (e.g., enhanced fluorescence signal and shifts in excitation and emission spectra) have been reported.

Mixture of two high-affinity monoclonal antibodies selected for their performance in detection of GFP and GFP fusion proteins.
