No GFP antibody for co-immunoprecipitation?

[Jayakumar, R]

Check out this website for a list of companies producing anti-GFP antibodies both polyclonal and monoclonal.  
http://www.biocompare.com/matrixsc/3194/2/6/362/GFP.html

You could probably call up the company and ask them if they would be suitable for immunoprecipitation too.  I will be surprised if they are not.

Best of luck.

Subject: No GFP antibody for co-immunoprecipitation?


Hi there,

I already made the GFP fusion for the study of a protein's
localization. Now I become interested in seeing what other proteins
(complex) it binds to. Well after a little bit research on the
internet, I realized there is actually no GFP antibody available to do
a co-immunoprecipitation.

It's sort of weird that the GFP has been around for so many years and
nobody bothers to make an antibody to do co-ip with it. Anybody has an
explanation or am I wrong on this point?

Thanks.
