Hi Renee;

Can't help you with the first query, as I haven't tried it, but it would
be interesting non the less.

As for the anti-GFP antibody, I am currently using two. One is the
Clontech polyclonal (for IPs seems OK, quite dirty on blots however, at
least in my hands). The second is a monoclonal and it is from Zymed.
