  • To evaluate their blocking capacity, again a mixture of Y3 (GFP −) and BAFF-R expressing Y3 cells (GFP+) was pre-incubated with these mAbs and subsequently with a saturating concentration of HA-tagged BAFF.

  • The green fluorescent protein GFP is shaped like a cylinder.

  • And in fact, I have said for many years now that the only reason that I worked on GFP is that for several years before I worked on GFP, I said that one of the great things about working on C. elegans was the fact that it was transparent, and so when I first heard that seminar describing GFP, and realised, I work on this transparent animal, this is going to be terrific!

    Martin Chalfie - Interview 2008

  • Osamu Shimomura first isolated GFP from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria, which drifts with the currents off the west coast of North America.
