Detection of BD Living Colors™ Novel Fluorescent Proteins Using the Acumen Explorer™

Abstract

Proprietary Novel Fluorescent Proteins (NFP) from BD Biosciences Clontech include fluorescent proteins cloned from reef corals and the jellyfish Aequorea coerulescens. Fluorescent emissions of distinct proteins from this portfolio were analysed by the Acumen Explorer. Single and mixed populations of cells expressing NFP genes were detected in addition to the measurement of proteins linked to different colored NFP’s localized to cell compartments. The combination of these technologies provides an excellent tool for the investigation of functional genomic applications.
