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?
