GFP antibody (GFP tag)

Catalog No. ABIN5596891

Product Details anti-GFP Antibody (GFP tag)

Target: GFP (Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP))

Reactivity: Aequorea victoria

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This GFP antibody is conjugated to GFP tag

Application: Western Blotting (WB), ELISA, Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Flow Cytometry (FACS), Fluorescence Microscopy (FM)

Cross-Reactivity (Details): No reaction was observed against Human, Mouse or Rat serum proteins.

Purification: Anti-GFP antibody was prepared from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography using Green Fluorescent Protein (Aequorea victoria) coupled to agarose beads followed by solid phase adsorption(s) to remove any unwanted reactivities. Assay by immunoelectrophoresis resulted in a single precipitin arc against anti-Rabbit Serum and purified and partially purified Green Fluorescent Protein (Aequorea victoria).

Immunogen:

Immunogen: The immunogen is a Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) fusion protein corresponding to the full length amino acid sequence (246aa) derived from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria.

Immunogen Type: Recombinant Protein

Isotype: IgG

Application Details

Application Notes:

Flow Cytometry Dilution: User Optimized

Immunohistochemistry Dilution: 1:200 - 1:3,000

Application Note: Anti-GFP antibody is designed to detect GFP and its variants. GFP antibody can be used to detect GFP by ELISA (sandwich or capture) for the direct binding of antigen and recognizes wild type, recombinant and enhanced forms of GFP. Biotin conjugated polyclonal anti-GFP used in a sandwich ELISA is well suited to titrate GFP in solution using this antibody in combination with Rockland's monoclonal anti-GFP (600-301-215) using either form of the antibody as the capture or detection antibodies. However, use the monoclonal form only for the detection of wild type or recombinant GFP as this form does not sufficiently detect 'enhanced' GFP. The detection antibody is typically conjugated to biotin and subsequently reacted with streptavidin conjugated HRP (code # S000-03). Fluorochrome conjugated polyclonal anti-GFP can be used to detect GFP by immunofluorescence microscopy in prokaryotic (E.coli) and eukaryotic (CHO cells) expression systems and can detect GFP containing inserts. Significant amplification of signal is achieved using fluorochrome conjugated polyclonal anti-GFP relative to the fluorescence of GFP alone. For immunoblotting use either alkaline phosphatase or peroxidase conjugated polyclonal anti-GFP to detect GFP or GFP containing proteins on western blots. Optimal titers for applications should be determined by the researcher.

Background: Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) is a 27 kDa protein produced from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria, which emits green light (emission peak at a wavelength of 509nm) when excited by blue light. GFP is an important tool in cell biology research. GFP is widely used enabling researchers to visualize and localize GFP-tagged proteins within living cells without the need for chemical staining. GFP Antibody is ideal for Cell Biology, Neuroscience and Cancer research.
