GFP Antibody (A-21311) in WB
Western Blot was performed using Anti-GFP Polyclonal Antibody, Alexa Fluor 488 (Product # A-21311) by loading whole cell extracts of untransfected and transiently transfected HEK-293E lysates: untransfected, 40 µg (Lane 1), empty vector control, 40 µg (Lane 2), p65-GFP, 40 µg (Lane 3), His-p65-YFP, 40 µg (Lane 4), H3-mCherry, 40 µg (Lane 5) and 25 ng Positope (Lane 6) were electrophoresed using NuPAGE™ 4-12% Bis-Tris Protein Gel (Product # NP0322BOX). Resolved proteins were then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane (Product # IB23001... View More

Product Specific Information
To achieve appropriate staining results on formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded tissue sections, protease Type XIV (Actinase E) pretreatment is required. The recommended dilution and incubation for protease is 1-2 mg/mL at 37°C for 10 minutes. Other enzyme and Heat Induced Epitope Retrieval pre-treatment methods may not be suitable for this particular antibody. Frozen sections have been successfully stained after fixation with acetone at 4°C.
Target Information
The jellyfish Aequorea victoria contains green fluorescent protein (GFP Tag) 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 in the physiological activities of living cells. GFP is a 27 kDa monomeric protein, which autocatalytically forms a fluorescent pigment. The wild type protein absorbs blue light (maximally at 395nm) and emits green light (peak emission 508nm) in the absence of additional proteins, substrates, or co-factors. GFP fluorescence is stable, species independent and is suitable for a variety of applications. GFP has been used extensively as a fluorescent tag to monitor gene expressin and protein localization. Moreover, other applications for GFP include its use in assessing protein protein interactions in the yeast two hybrid system, and in measuring distances between proteins in fluorescence energy transfer (FRET) experiments.
