Immunohistochemistry - Free Floating - Anti-GFP antibody (AB290)
GFP Immunohistochemistry (Free Floating) analysis of mouse brain tissue sections with ab290. Tissue was fixed with 4% PFA frozen 30 μm sections were blocked for 1 hour at room temperature with 10% normal goat serum + donkey anti-mouse IgG Fab fragments (0.1 mg/ml). Sections were incubated with the primary antibody at a dilution of 1/1000 in TBS + 0.25% Triton-X for 16 hours at 4°C. A Cy2®-conjugated donkey anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) at a dilution of 1/200 was used as the secondary antibody.

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-GFP antibody (AB290)
GFP staining with GFP antibody ab290 in GFP-transfected NIH3T3 cells. The cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10min) and then blocked in 1% BSA / 0.3M glycine in 0.1%PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated with ab290 at 1/200 dilution overnight at +4°C followed by incubation with Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) (ab150081) for 1 hour at 1μg/ml.
Under identical experimental conditions when compared to the basal level of GFP expression in transfected NIH3T3 cells the cells upon which ab290 was applied gave a stronger signal in the 488 channel indicating that ab290 is binding to GFP and therefore eliciting signal amplification.
ab290 was also applied to non-GFP-transfected NIH3T3 cells which produced no positive staining indicating specificity for GFP. Nuclear DNA was labelled with 1.43μM DAPI (blue).

Target Information
Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP), originally derived from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria, emits a bright green fluorescence under ultraviolet or blue light. This unique property makes GFP an invaluable tool in molecular and cell biology research. Widely used to tag proteins, GFP allows scientists to visualize and track protein expression, localization, and interactions within living cells. Key applications of GFP include fluorescence microscopy (ICC, IHC, IF), flow cytometry (FC), and western blotting (WB).

Purification notes
This antibody is provided as whole antiserum. It is not possible to determine the exact concentration of the anti-GFP antibody ab290, since whole serum contains many other host serum proteins and other antibodies, besides the antibody of interest. The total IgG concentration is 5 mg/mL.
This antibody does not contain an anti-bacterial agent – use sterilized equipment and freeze small aliquots to reduce the risk of contamination.

Biological function summary
GFP serves as a marker due to its ability to emit green fluorescence without requiring additional substrates or cofactors. GFP does not function within complexes like other proteins but acts as a standalone tool to monitor physiological processes. Scientists utilize techniques such as Western blot ELISA and microscopy along with GFP to track and quantify proteins inside living cells. Anti-GFP antibodies can detect GFP fusion proteins in various applications providing valuable insights into protein behavior and allowing robust assays involving GFP.
Pathways
GFP itself does not participate actively in traditional biochemical or signaling pathways. Instead it enables visual tracking within pathways. Researchers utilize GFP to study pathways like MAPK/ERK and PI3K/AKT where they track proteins related to these pathways using GFP tagging. For instance fusing GFP with proteins like ERK1/2 allows tracking phosphorylation events and signal transduction in living cells leading to better understanding of cellular responses to different stimuli.
