Highly-specific polyclonal antibody to Green Fluorescent Protein

Licensing opportunity

Researchers at Edinburgh University have developed a highly-specific polyclonal antibody to Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) for detecting GFP-tagged proteins.

The antibody is made to the whole GFP protein immunogen, making it strongly reactive and highly specific.

These properties make it suitable for detecting GFP-tagged proteins in a range of biochemical applications, including Western Blotting, Immunoprecipitation, Immunofluorescence, Affinity Chromatography and Immunohistochemistry. They are particularly effective in detecting protein where fixation methods, for example, formaldehyde, are used preserve native protein structure.

The sensitivity and specificity of these antibodies results in good signal strength and low background when used to detect GFP-tagged proteins.

Edinburgh University is seeking interest from life science reagent companies to license this technology on a non-exclusive basis with a view to marketing and selling the reagents.

This technology is available to license under a standard non-exclusive license agreement.
