General description

The 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.

Specificity

Reacts with Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP). The antibody reacts with various forms of GFP including eGFP including those found in vectors supplied by Clonetech and Invitrogen. There is not cross-reactivity to RFP. YFP has not been tested. This antibody works well for immunohistochemistry.

GFP-BSA

Application

Detect Green Fluorescent Protein using this Anti-Green Fluorescent Protein Antibody validated for use in ELISA, IC, IH & WB.
Western 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.

Target description

MW for GFP is 27 kDa Dependent upon the molecular weight of the fusion protein being detected.

Physical form

Format: Purified
Liquid in PBS containing 1 mg/mL BSA. Contains no preservative.

Mir-132 is a neuronal activity-regulated microRNA that controls the morphology of dendritic spines and neuronal transmission. Similar activities have recently been attributed to matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), an extrasynaptic protease. In the present study, we provide evidence that miR-132 directly regulates

Maintaining DNA integrity is vital for all cells and organisms. Defective DNA repair may contribute to neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). We found reduced levels of BRCA1, but not of other DNA repair factors, in the brains of AD
