Question for Dr. Nicoletti:
I am interested in using GFP in the context of flow cytometry. The
standard excitation source misses the absorbance optimum for GFP. Do
you have any experience here?
Question for Dr. Pelicci:
Did you have to alter the GFP ORF, for example, to accommodate the codon
bias of mammalian cells? I understand that people have created (by
mutation in E coli) new ORFs derived from the original GFP which are
brighter, or different color. Do you know about this? Also, were you
previously at NYU Pathology?
