Figure 1. Flow cytometric analysis of GFP expression in transfected human embryonic kidney cells. AcGFP-transfected HEK-293 cells were fixed with BD Cytofix™ Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 554655) and permeabilized with the BD Phosflow™ Perm Buffer III (Cat. No. 558050). The cells were then stained with either Biotin Mouse IgG1 κ Isotype Control (dashed line, Cat. No. 555747) or Biotin Mouse Anti-GFP monoclonal antibody (solid line, Cat. No. 565271) followed by APC Streptavidin (Cat. No. 554067). The histograms were derived from gated events based on light scattering characteristics of intact AcGFP-transfected HEK-293 cells. Flow cytometry was performed on a BD LSRFortessa™ Cell Analyzer System. Figure 2. Immunofluorescent staining of GFP-transfected human embryonic kidney cells. Untransfected HEK-293 cells (left panel) and AcGFP-transfected HEK-293 cells (middle and right panels) were fixed with BD Cytofix™ Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 554655) and permeabilized with 0.1% Triton™ X-100. The cells were blocked with Avidin D followed by Biotin (Vector Labs), and then stained with Biotin Mouse Anti-GFP monoclonal antibody (left and middle panels, pseudo-colored red) at 20 μg/mL. The secondary reagent was Streptavidin Alexa Fluor® 555 (Life Technologies) at 5 μg/mL. GFP signal in the AcGFP-transfected HEK-293 cells is shown for comparison (right panel, pseudo-colored green). Cell nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (Cat. No. 564907). The images were captured on a BD Pathway™ 435 Cell Analyzer and merged using BD Attovision™ software.

Preparation And Storage

Store undiluted at 4°C. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated with biotin under optimum conditions, and unreacted biotin was removed.

Product Notices

  1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
  2. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
  3. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.

1A12-6-18

Monoclonal antibody 1A12-6-18 reacts with Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP), which is a 27 kDa bioluminescent protein first purified from the jellyfish, Aequorea victoria. GFP exhibits green fluorescence when exposed to blue or ultraviolet light. Additionally, GFP can be introduced into the genome of and expressed in a wide variety of cell types, making it a useful reporter for tracking gene expression or protein localization. A number of GFP mutants have been developed with varying fluorescence intensity and spectra. Monoclonal antibody 1A12-6-18 is known to react with AcGFP, and is not reactive towards ZsGreen1.

Biotin
Biotin is a ubiquitous co-factor (also known as Vitamin B7) that has many properties that make it extremely useful for molecular biology. Biotin has an extremely high affinity for the Avidin family of proteins (Kd = 10-15 M), making it the perfect tool to link two molecules. Biotin labeled antibodies can be combined with any number of Avidin-conjugated probes in order to customize an assay to a particular need. This is especially useful in the case of magnetic cell separation using streptavidin/magnetic bead conjugates, or in the case of flow cytometry using streptavidin/fluorophore conjugates.
