CST, 2555S, GFP Antibody

Polyclonal Antibody for studying GFP jellyfish. Validated for Western Blotting,Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin). Highly specific and rigorously validated in-house, GFP Antibody (CST #2555) is ready to ship. Product Usage Information Western Blotting: 1:1000 Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin): 1:1250 - 1:5000 Storage Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/ml BSA and 50% glycerol. Store at -20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody. Protocol Available protocols: Western Blotting, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin) Specificity / Sensitivity GFP Antibody detects GFP, YFP, and CFP-tagged proteins exogenously expressed in cells. This antibody does not detect RFP-tagged proteins. Please note that the GFP, YFP, and CFP tags add approximately 27 kDa to the molecular weight of the fusion protein. Species Reactivity: All Species Expected Source / Purification Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic GFP peptide. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography. Background Epitope tags are useful for the labeling and detection of proteins using immunoblotting, immunoprecipitation, and immunostaining techniques. Because of their small size, they are unlikely to affect the tagged protein's biochemical properties. The green-fluorescent protein (GFP) functions as a bioluminescence energy transfer acceptor in the jellyfish Aequorea that maximally absorbs light at 395 nm and has an emission spectrum that peaks at 509 nm. GFP has become a very useful tool as a fusion protein that reports gene expression, traces cell lineages and defines subcellular protein localizations (1).
