Target

Relevance

Green fluorescence protein (GFP) is a 27 kDa protein derived from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria, which emits green light (emission peak at a wavelength of 509 nm) when excited by blue light (excitation peak at a wavelength of 395 nm). GFP has become an invaluable tool in cell biology research, since its intrinsic fluorescence can be visualized in living cells. GFP fluorescence is stable under fixation conditions and suitable for a variety of applications. GFP has been widely used as a reporter for gene expression, enabling researchers to visualize and localize GFP-tagged proteins within living cells without the need for chemical staining. Other applications of GFP include assessment of protein protein interactions through the yeast two hybrid system and measurement of distance between proteins through fluorescence energy transfer (FRET) protocols. GFP technology has considerably contributed to a greater understanding of cellular physiology. YFP differs from GFP due to a mutation at T203Y; antibodies raised against full-length GFP should also detect YFP and other variants.

Paraformaldehyde fixed COS-7 cells expressing Myr-N15-PAK2-EGFP construct (Vilas et al.(2006) PNAS 103, 6542). Myr-N15-PAK2-EGFP fluorescence is shown in green. Indirect immunofluorescenct detection of N15-PAK-EGFP using ab291 monoclonal LGB-1 anti-GFP at 0.05 ug/ml with chicken anti-mouse secondary antibody conjugated to Alexa594 diluted 1/500 is shown in red. Myr-N15-PAK2-EGFP is localized to membrane ruffles and perinuclear vesicular structures (likely Golgi,TGN or late endosomes).

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - GFP antibody [LGB-1] (ab291)

ab291 staining GFP in Dog MDCKII cells transfected with GFP by ICC/IF (Immunocytochemistry/immunofluorescence). Cells were fixed with paraformaldehyde, permeabilized with 0.5% TX100 and blocked with 5% serum for 20 minutes. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/250 PBS + 0.1% TX100 + 1% goat serum) for 16 hours at 4°C. An Alexa Fluor®546-conjugated Goat anti-mouse IgG polyclonal (1/500) was used as the secondary antibody. DAPI was used to stain nuclei. ab291 was used to assess electoporation efficiency of double transfected MDCKII cells.
