GFP (Green Fluorescent Protein) Antibody

Print Datasheet Download Datasheet (pdf format)


Rabbit polyclonal antibody against highly purified soluble recombinant green fluorescent protein (GFP) from Aequorea victoria. This rabbit polyclonal anti-GFP antibody is reactive against variants of Aequorea victoria GFP such as S65T-GFP, RS-GFP and EGFP.

 
EU2: Affinity purified rabbit anti-GFP polyclonal antibody
Suggested Unit Size: 25 ug (0.025 mg)
Suggested Unit Price: $295 US



Approximately 5.0 mg IgG / ml serum (assayed by binding to protein A agarose). Concentration may vary between bleeds.

Product Use Yes / No Recommended Use
Western Blot (WB) dilute 1/1000 to 1/2500 in 1X BLOTTO or 3% BSA in PBS 
Immunoprecipitation (IP) 1.0 ul crude serum per 10 cm tissue culture dish. Use 10 uL protein A agarose CL4B (Amersham-Pharmacia) to precipitate immune complex 
IP-Western protocols 1.0 uL crude serum per 10 cm tissue culture dish. Use 10 uL protein A agarose CL4B to precipitate immune complex. Run samples on 12.5% SDS-PAGE, transfer proteins to PVDF membrane, probe membrane with GFP antibody at 1/1000 to 1/2500 dilution, use protein A-HRP conjugate as secondary reagent in ECL or ECL Plus detection kit (Amersham-Pharmacia) as recommended 
Immunohistochemistry & Immunofluorescence Dilute anti-GFP 1/200 to 1/1000 in 4% normal donkey serum (Jackson Immunologics). Incubate for 1 hour at 37oC in humidified atmosphere. Process with secondary antibody as recommended by supplier. See immunofluorescence photograph (above) for typical results.

Crude antibody (serum) can be stored for at least 24 months at -80oC without apparent loss of activity. This antibody can be frozen and thawed a few times but avoid multiple unnecessary freeze-thaw cycles. Once thawed, the antibody is stable up to two weeks at 4oC.


This polyclonal anti-GFP antibody allows detection of 2 to 5 ng recombinant GFP in ECL or ECL Plus (Amersham-Pharmacia) detection protocols in under one minute of exposition to film (when used with antibody that is kept at 4oC. Each bleed is tested for activity in a Western blotting procedure.
N.B. Typically, exposure times required to detect 2 ng - 5 ng GFP are achieved in as little as one to five seconds when the anti-GFP antibody is prepared fresh from the –20 or –80 oC stocks and used at a 1/2500 dilution using the procedure described in Klapper et al. (1992) Biotechniques, 12, 651-654.


We have over 150 ml of frozen anti-GFP antiserum in the –80oC freezer. –80oC shelf-life so far is over three years without apparent loss of signal in our Western blot assays. Please note that stocks/supply can be increased upon request. Please note that we carry out only a small inventory (about 2-5 mgs) of affinity purified rabbit anti-GFP polyclonal antibody but larger amounts can be prepared up on demand.
