“Photoblog”–just some fun pictures from our notebooks.
    The brightest cyan, green fluorescent proteins, and the brightest ever FP in LanYFP!

ever FP in LanYFP!
Ain't they pretty?
These fluorescent proteins are representatives of the growing family or high quality, new generation FPs engineered to enable experiment previously deemed impossible.
    Cells infected with lentivirus carrying mWasabi. Lentivirus carrying LanYFP will make most cells much more brighter than this.
2-3 times brighter than EGFP, no cytotoxicity detected
The mWasabi is stimulating
The brightest green fluorescent protein with excellent photostability, carried on 10e8 TU/ml high titer lentivirus.
    The LanFPs express well in bacteria.
Reminding you of icecream
The LanFPs express well in bacteria
Project planning is under way to test the cytotoxicity of lanFPs in different mammalian cell lines and in vivo with a focus on neurons.
    The FPs fold so strongly that they fluorescence even in SDS-PAGE.
Fluorescence while running in denaturing gel
Can you see the FP bands in the SDS PAGE?
    FPs in SDS PAGE–a closer look
while the gel is still running
Can you see them now?
    FPs in gel cassette over UV lights
Easier to see now than during gel running
Invincible FPs
    FPs in gel cassette under blue LED
The red FP is harder to see because of the black background
Fluorescence in SDS page under blue LED
The purified FPs can be used as “real time” protein markers.
