General description

Green fluorescent protein (GFP) is a 29 kDa fluorescent protein isolated from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria. Upon exposure to blue light (488 nm), GFP strongly fluoresces (Emission max: 507 nm). GFP can be fused to proteins without significantly interfering with their assembly and function, making GFP a powerful tool for monitoring gene expression and protein localization in living cells.

Immunogen

His-tagged green fluorescent protein of Aequorea victoria.

Other Notes

Concentration: Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration.

Physical form

Ammonium Sulfate Precipitation and PEG

Format: Purified

Purified chicken polyclonal IgY from egg yolk in buffer containing 70% storage buffer (0.1M Tris-glycine, pH 7.4, 0.15M NaCl, 0.05% sodium azide) and 30% glycerol. Store at -20°C.

Quality

Routinely evaluated by Western Blot on rat brain lysate containing purified GFP (Catalog #14-392) or a GFP-fusion protein from a transfected E. coli cell lysate.

Western Blot Analysis:
0.5-2 µg/mL of this lot detected Green Fluorescent Protein from 50 µg of rat brain lysate containing 25 ng of purified Green Fluorescent Protein (Catalog # 14-392). A previous lot of this antibody also detected a GFP-fusion protein from a transfected E. coli cell lysate.

Specificity

Recognizes green fluorescent protein (GFP), Mr 30 kDa, and GFP-fusion proteins.

Storage and Stability

Stable for 1 year at -20°C from date of receipt.
Handling Recommendations: Upon receipt, and prior to removing the cap, centrifuge the vial and gently mix the solution. Aliquot into microcentrifuge tubes and store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles, which may damage IgG and affect product performance. Note: Variability in freezer temperatures below -20°C may cause glycerolcontaining solutions to become frozen during storage.
