The purpose of our experiment was to study the expression of cytokine receptor GFP knock-in by immunofluorescence. GFP detection otherwise is sensitive to bleaching, but use of this antibody enhances the signal extensively and specificity against GFP protein is also good.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Immunofluorescence

Sample

Bone marrow cultured macrophages

Primary Incubation

1:1000 against GFP

Blocking Agent

Fc block with FBS/PBS

Secondary Incubation

NA

Tertiary Incubation

NA

Detection

Wash 3 x with PBS and detect GFP by fluorescence microscopy

Results Summary

When we used the isotype from the same company, we achieved very good results and actually enhanced the signal by many folds. However, GFP alone is poorly detected. With this antibody against the protein, detection becomes simple.

Additional Notes

None

Summary

The Good

Signal gets enhanced many folds. Antibody is also specific

The Bad

Incubation periods have to be optimized depending on the expression of the protein

The Bottom Line

Very good product that is not very expensive.
