Getting started
- Can GFP fluorescence be detected in cells that have been stained for β-galactosidase?
- Do you offer a vector that I could use to do some promoter analysis studies?
- Are the Lumio™ Red and Green reagents toxic to the cells?
- What is the difference between pSecTag2 and pSecTag2/Hygro vectors?
- Where in the mitochondria would my protein be targeted to with the pCMV/myc/mito vector?
Troubleshooting
- I used one of your pTracer™ vectors and do not see any fluorescence. What could have happened?
- I used your pDisplay™ vector to express my protein on the cell surface. The protein is expressed based on a western using anti-HA antibody, but is not displayed on the cell surface based on immunofluorescence using anti-myc antibody. Can you please help troubleshoot?
- I used the pSecTag2 vector and am seeing cellular but not secreted expression of the protein of interest. Can you offer some tips?
