It would help if you could give a little more detail of the methods and
reagents. E.g.
What are the conditions for the expression in the e.coli?
What antibody?
Reducing or non-reducing gel?
Was the sample purified in some way or whole lysate?
Did you run a control lane of non-transformed e.coli lysate?
Did you have a recombinant GFPuv control lane?
Are you getting good fluorescence?
The Living Colours Manual section II-G-8 mentions that GFPuv has a
greater tendancy to dimerize than GFP, so it's possible that you're
seeing the dimers on the Western.
