General description
The Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria is used as a fluorescent indicator for monitoring gene expression in a variety of cellular systems, including living organisms and fixed tissues. Unlike other bioluminescent reporters, GFP fluoresces in the absence of substrates, cofactors, or other intrinsic or extrinsic proteins. Purified GFP is a 27 kDa monomer consisting of 238 amino acids and emits green light (emission maximum at 509 nm) when excited with blue or UV light.
Specificity
AB3080P is made against highly-purified native GFP from Aequorea victoria. It is reactive with GFP from both native and recombinant sources. While other commercial antibodies to GFP typically demonstrate strong reactivity with E. coli, the AB3080P GFP antibody has been affinity purified, followed by extensive adsorption against whole E. coli BL21 strain cells, giving them minimal cross-reactivity with E. coli.
Reactivity with other species has not been confirmed.
Immunogen
Highly purified native GFP from Aequorea victoria.
Application
Anti-Green Fluorescent Protein Antibody detects level of Green Fluorescent Protein & has been published & validated for use in ELISA, IC & WB.

Western Blot:
A 1:500-1:1000 dilution of a previous lot was used using colorimetric detection (Peroxidase/TMB), with higher dilution possible using more sensitive detection methods.
ELISA:
A 1:800-1:1,000 dilution of a previous lot was used in ELISA.
Note: While AB3080 has been adsorbed against E. coli proteins, most secondary antibodies have not. To reduce the likelihood of E. coli reactivity from a secondary antibody, we suggest the use of Millipore′s highly purified secondary antibodies in indirect detection systems.
Immunocytochemistry:
Optimal working dilutions and protocols must be determined by end user.

Synaptic scaling is a form of homeostatic plasticity that stabilizes neuronal firing in response to changes in synapse number and strength. Scaling up in response to action-potential blockade is accomplished through increased synaptic accumulation of GluA2-containing AMPA receptors (AMPAR), but
