| Description |  | Monoclonal Antibody against Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) | | Clone |  | B34 | | Form |  | Purified Antibody (Stored in PBS + 0.03% Thimerosal) | | Host |  | Mouse | | IsoType |  | IgG1 | | [Ab] |  | 1 mg/mL | | Specificity |  | Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) is a single chain 238 amino acid protein derived from the jellyfish Aequoria victoria. GFP emits a bright green fluorescence when illuminated with UV or blue light and is a useful tool for cellular and developmental biologists. Unlike other bioluminescent molecules, GFP does not require additional proteins, substrates or co-factors for its activity. Antibody B34, generated against purified wild type GFP, offers an alternitive for detecting GFP and GFP variants including enhanced/mutant GFP. | | Uses |  | This antibody is effective in immunoblotting of GFP labeled proteins. | | Suggested Working Dilution |  | The optimal working dilution should be determined for each specific assay condition. This antibody is sold for laboratory research use only, not for human or in-vivo use. Covance antibodies may not be resold or modified for resale without prior written approval. | | Notes |  | *Predicted MW = 27 kD. | | Storage |  | Store at -20°C. Upon initial thawing, apportion into working aliquots and store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to prevent denaturing the antibody. For long-term storage, keep the antibody at -80°C. | | References |  | Pecot MY, Malhotra V. Golgi membranes remain segregated from the endoplasmic reticulum during mitosis in mammalian cells.
