Background InformationThe Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria is used as a fluorescent indicator for monitoring gene expression in a variety of cellular systems, including living organisms and fixed tissues. Unlike other bioluminescent reporters, GFP fluoresces in the absence of substrates, cofactors, or other intrinsic or extrinsic proteins. Purified GFP is a 27 kDa monomer consisting of 238 amino acids and emits green light (emission maximum at 509 nm) when excited with blue or UV light.

Applications
ApplicationDetect Green Fluorescent Protein using this Anti-Green Fluorescent Protein Antibody validated for use in ELISA, IC, IH & WB.
Key Applications
  • ELISA
  • Immunocytochemistry
  • Immunohistochemistry
  • Western Blotting
Application NotesWestern blot: 1:2,500-1:5,000. Recommended dilution buffer is PBS containing 1 mg/mL BSA.

Immunocytochemistry: 1:500-1:1,000

Immunohistochemistry: 1:500-1:1,000 on paraformaldehyde fixed tissues with an overnight incubation using Nickel enhanced DAB for detection. Suggested permeabilization method is 0.5% Triton X-100. Recommended blocking buffer is PBS containing BSA and serum from the host of the secondary antibody. Recommended dilution buffer is PBS containing 1 mg/mL of BSA.

ELISA: 1:1,000-1:2,000 in a direct assay.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.
