title: Application of green fluorescent protein to affinity electrophoresis; affinity of IgG-binding domain C from streptococcal protein G to mouse IgG1.
abstract: Affinity electrophoresis (AEP) using green fluorescent protein (GFP) was studied. We constructed a fusion protein that linked S147PGFP and IgG binding domain C from streptococcal protein G (GFP-SpGC). The affinity of GFP-SpGC for mouse IgG1 was measured. The AEP using GFP does not require a staining step after electrophoresis, and was successful with a non-purified sample. Therefore, this method is simple and useful for measuring many samples such as those used in mutational studies.
