Anti-GFP (Green Fluorescent Protein)

GFP, also known as green fluorescent protein, is a protein produced by the jellyfish (Aequorea Victoria) that emits bioluminescence in the green zone of the visible spectrum. GFP has become a useful and ubiquitous tool for making chimeric proteins, where it functions as a fluorescent protein tag. It has been expressed in most known cell types and is used as a noninvasive fluorescent marker in living cells and organisms. This protein enables a wide range of applications where it has functioned as a cell lineage tracer, reporter of gene expression, or as a measure of protein-protein interactions. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 1:1000-1:2000, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
