This study has examined the utility of a marker that is rapidly becoming a powerful tool in hematopoietic cell-directed gene therapy. The GFP marker significantly enhances the ability to track and ...

Poeschla and colleagues used a modified virus to transfer the green fluorescent protein gene into cat egg cells. The green marker allowed them to visualize their real target: a monkey-derived protein ...

Martin Chalfie, Columbia University Today, we call them fluorescent proteins. Alongside aequorin, Shimomura and Johnson also purified a small amount of another protein that glowed green instead of ...

The research team specifically asked their model to generate a new green fluorescent protein—other such proteins, which fluoresce under ultraviolet light, are often used as markers. The team ...

Four fluorescent protein colors—cyan, green, yellow and orange—have been ... the reporter are brought together and reconstitute the marker function, which can be enzymatic activity ...
