Anti-Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) Chicken Polyclonal Primary Antibody

The Anti-Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) chicken polyclonal primary antibody from Aves Labs is produced in-house and detects Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) and related variants including eGFP, YFP, CFP and others.  It is a mixture of IgY fraction and affinity-purified antibodies and is great for use in ELISA, IHC, ICC, and WB.

 

Background

Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) is a naturally fluorescent protein originally derived from jellyfish. GFP has been engineered to produce a vast number of variously colored mutants, fusion proteins, and biosensors which have become useful and ubiquitous tools in transgenic experiments. Fluorescent proteins enable a wide range of applications where they have functioned as cell lineage tracers, reporters of gene expression, or as a measure of protein-protein interactions.

Production Notes

Chickens were immunized with purified recombinant green fluorescent protein (GFP) emulsified in Freund’s adjuvant. After multiple injections, eggs were collected from the hens, and IgY fractions were prepared from the yolks and then affinity-purified antibodies were prepared using GFP conjugated to an agarose matrix. The final product is a filter-sterilized mixture of both affinity-purified antibodies (30 µg/mL) and purified IgY (10 mg/mL).

Quality Control

Antibodies were analyzed by western blot analysis (1:5000 dilution) and immunohistochemistry (1:500 dilution) using transgenic mice expressing the GFP gene product. Western blots were performed using BlokHen® (Aves Labs) as the blocking reagent, and HRP-labeled goat anti-chicken antibodies (Aves Labs, Cat. #H-1004) as the detection reagent. Immunohistochemistry used tetramethyl rhodamine-labeled anti-chicken IgY.

 

These antibodies are to be used as research laboratory reagents and are not for use as diagnostic or therapeutic reagents in humans.

Clonality: Polyclonal
Concentration: 10 mg/mL
Buffer: Sodium phosphate (10 mM, pH 7.2) buffered isotonic saline (0.9%, w/v), glycerol (50%, v/v), with sodium azide (0.02%, w/v) as an anti-microbial agent.
Storage: Store at -20°C in the dark. Under these conditions, the antibodies should have a shelf life of at least twelve months, provided they remain sterile.
