Highly-specific polyclonal antibody to Green Fluorescent Protein

LICENSING OPPORTUNITY:

Researchers at the University of Edinburgh have developed a highly-specific polyclonal antibody to Green Fluorescent Protein for detecting GFP-tagged proteins.

The antibody is made to the whole GFP protein immunogen making it strongly reactive and highly specific.

These properties make it suitable for detecting GFP-tagged proteins in a range of biochemical applications, including Western Blotting, Immunoprecipitation, Immunofluorescence, Affinity Chromatography and Immunohistochemistry. The fact that they are to whole protein immunogen makes them particularly effective in detecting protein where fixation methods used preserve native protein structure (eg. formaldehyde).

The sensitivity and specificity of these antibodies results in good signal strength and low background when used to detect GFP-tagged proteins.

Key Benefits

Antibody is made to whole protein immunogen rather than peptide
Strong reactivity providing good signal strength
No cross-reactivity with RFP
Clean background in cell Lysates

Applications

Western Blotting
Immunohistochemistry
Immunofluorescence
Immunoprecipitation
Affinity Chromatography
