Dear Netters,

We express GFP fusion protein in mammalian cells (CHO, COS etc) and obtain
good fluorescence in living cell. But when we fixed with 4%
paraformaldehyde or 10% formalin, the fluorescence was markedly decreased. 
 Do anyone know the good fixative for GFP?  Or please let me know some
references.
