We are trying to use the enhanced green fluorescent protein (GFP) to
identify transiently transfected cells for cell cycle studies. We want to
quantitate DNA in the cells with propidium iodide and assess for new DNA
sysnthesis with BrDU. Several procedures that we have used to permeabilize
the cells to allow for PI or BrDU antibody uptake inactivate the GFP. Has
anyone worked out a method for using GFP in this manner?
