Function

Energy-transfer acceptor. Its role is to transduce the blue chemiluminescence of the protein aequorin into green fluorescent light by energy transfer. Fluoresces in vivo upon receiving energy from the Ca(2+)-activated photoprotein aequorin.

Notes

Anti-GFP antibody (ab6673) was first used in a scientific publication in 2005 and has been cited over 544 times in peer reviewed journals. It's performance in IHC, immunofluorescence and Western Blot is trusted by the scientific community.

Abcam's high quality validation processes ensure Anti-GFP antibody (ab6673) has high sensitivity and specificity.

Anti-GFP antibody (ab6673) has 11 independent reviews from customers.

GFP antibodies are used to visualize proteins labelled with this tag in a variety of applications (for example imaging and Flow cytometry). To enable specific detection of your tagged protein, Anti-GFP antibody (ab6673) has been validated in ELISA, ICC/IF, IF, IHC-Fr, IHC-FrFl, IHC-P, IP and WB.

Anti-GFP antibody (ab6673) specifically detects GFP (UniProt ID: P42212; Molecular weight: 27kDa) and is sold in 100 µg selling sizes.

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).

    Immunohistochemistry - Free Floating - Anti-GFP antibody (ab6673)

    Pth4:eGFP transgenic zebrafish embryos at 1 and 2 dpf were fixed with 4% PFA and washed in PBST. They were then washed in PBDT (1% BSA, 1% DMSO, 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS, pH 7.4), blocked in 10% normal goat serum/PBDT, and incubated overnight at 4°C with primary antibodies to HuC/D (1/100) and GFP (1/400, Abcam ab6673). Further PBST washes and blocking were followed by secondary antibodies overnight at 4°C. Hoechst 34580 was added to stain nuclei (1/2500). After further PBDT and PBS washes, embryos were mounted for confocal imaging.

    In utero electroporation of Disc1 and Disc1-100P constructs into wild-type neocortex and analysis at P21.

    (Panels D-D'') 2 days after transfection in vitro.

    (Panels E-E'') at P21 in vivo.

    Immunochemistry for FLAG and GFP showed that constructs encoding either WT Disc1, the Disc1-100P variant, or GFP alone, expressed these protein species in transfected HEK-293 cells in vitro (Fig 5D–5D") and in P21 postmitotic cortical neurons in vivo (Fig 5E–5E")

    Immunohistochemistry (Frozen sections) - Anti-GFP antibody (ab6673)

    Immunofluorescence for assessment of GFP+ myofibers in rat tissue.

    VML affected muscle from the 50% MG + HA+LMN group were probed for the presence of GFP. GFP+ fibers were detected in a qualitatively similar magnitude at both 2 and 8 weeks post-injury indicating viable engraftment of donor derived muscle progenitor cells. Scale bars are 1mm for whole mount images, 50 μm for regions of interest.

    A portion of the TA muscle from the defect region was embedded in a talcum-based gel, frozen in 2-methylbutane, and supercooled in liquid nitrogen. Cryosections (8 μm) were prepared and stained using standard protocols for hematoxylin & eosin.

    Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-GFP antibody (ab6673)

    Mouse small intestines were washed with DPBS and fixed overnight at 4°C in Zinc formalin. Following sectioning and tissue deparaffanization, antigen retrieval was performed with 10mM Tris base (pH 9.0) buffer using a pressure cooker.

    For immunohistochemistry, sections were quenched of endogenous peroxidases by 3% H2O2, and sequentially blocked with Avidin D, biotin, and protein blocking reagents. Primary antibody incubation was conducted at 4°C overnight. Secondary biotinylated antibody was added at a dilution of 1/200, and incubated 2 hours at room temperature. Finally, sections were stained according to the ABC peroxidase protocol and counterstained with hematoxylin.
