Hi,
Clontech showed a beautiful picture of FACS on cells transiently
tranfected with the new red shifted GFP clone. Does anyone have
'homegrown' results with flow cytometric analysis?
I am planning to use GFP as a reporter in a cAMP inducible promoter=20
construct and assay by FACS. Doe anyone have experience with something=20
remotely similar? Thanks.

I am also planning on sorting cells on FACS following expression in
mammalian
cells (Rat-1 cells). In my case I will be using the GFP on a CMV
promoter to
use as a marker for cells successfully co-transfected with
dominant-negative
kinase constructs. I plan to use the FACS-sorted cells for MAP kinase
assays.
I, too, would be interested whether anyone has information regarding
this
approach, especially the conditions under which expression of GFP would
be
adequate for its use as a FACS-sorting marker. Thanks,

We have been successful in FACS analyzing both wt GFP and S65TGFP in=20
various mammalian cell types. For a detailed description please see=20
our manuscript in the upcoming issue of Cytometry: Ropp, J. D., et al.=20
(1995). =D2Aequorea green fluorescent protein (GFP) analysis by flow=20
cytometry.=D3 Cytometry 21(4). I hope this can provide some answers.
