| The jellyfish Aequorea victoria contains green fluorescent protein (GFP) that emits light in the bioluminescence reaction of the animal. GFP has been used widely as a reporter protein for gene expression in eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms, and as a protein tag in cell culture and in multicellular organisms. As a fusion tag, GFP can be used to localize proteins, to study their movement or to research the dynamics of the subcellular compartments where these proteins are targeted. GFP technology has revealed considerable new insights into the physiological activities of living cells. |

| Catalog # | G8965-10A |
| Applications | Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot, Immunoprecipitation, Immunocytochemistry, Immunohistochemistry and Immunofluorescence. Other applications not tested. |
| Recommended Dilution | Western Blot: Detects the GFP fraction from cell extracts expressing recombinant GFP fusion proteins. |
| Immunocytochemistry: Very good signal on recombinant YES-GFP chimeras expressed in COS cells. |
| Immunohistochemistry: 1:200 with HRP detection systems. Has been shown to be useful on mouse sections fixed with formalin and on whole-mount mouse embryos. |
| Optimal dilution 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. |
