The most common protein that is used as a 'tag' for other proteins is GFP. In order to do this, the GFP gene sequence is simply added at the end of the gene sequence for the target protein. GFP is particularly useful for this because it contains its own chromophore, and needs nothing else except the gene sequence to create its own light. This makes possible easy tracking of certain proteins without necessarily killing the tester animal.

What are radioactively tagged bacteriophages to discover that DNA not protein is injected into host cells?
Avery are radioactively tagged bacteriophages to discover that DNA, not protein is injected into host cells.
Where can green fluorescent protein be found?
Green fluoroescent protein can be found in aequorea victoria, the "crystal jelly," from which it was first isolated. Some genetically altered animals also contain green fluorescent protein, such as the rabbit Alba and Yorktown Technologies' "GloFish" zebrafish.
What is green fluorescence protein?
This is a fluorescent label used in fluorescent miscroscopes. It is a protein that is produced by the bioluminescent jellyfish Aequorea victoria; used to trace the synthesis, location, and movement of proteins of interest in cell biology research. It is used to label live cells; passively difuses across plasma mebrane. It is called Aequorin; it is a Luciferin.Green fluorescent protein (GFP) glows in ultraviolet light.
What does the presence of cytoplasmic fluorescence mean?
Cytoplasmic fluorescence is when the cytoplasm of the cell (everything inside the cellular membrane except the nucleus) is lighting up or showing color through under a certain kind of light or microscope, depending on the process. This usually happens when a researcher wants to detect if there is a certain substance in the cell, he can put a fluorescent protein inside the cell that will bind with the substance he is looking for. If the substance is found in the cell, the fluorescent protein will stick to it and let off light or color.
How does 4 tube fluorescent work?
A four tube fluorescent luminaire is just 4 separate fluorescent lamp circuits in one fitting. Look up 'how things work' etc to see a fluorescent lamp circuit.
What Is a method of counting cells that have been stained or tagged with fluorescent dyes?
Flow Cytometry

What is the diagnostic method for Japanese encephalitis?
Immunofluorescence tests, where special viral markers react with human antibodies that have been tagged with a fluorescent chemical, are used to verify the disease.
Testing of what body fluids can confirm a measles diagnosis?
If there is any doubt as to the diagnosis, then a specimen of body fluids (mucus, urine) can be collected and combined with fluorescent-tagged measles virus antibodies.
What is added to the serum in the antinuclear antibody test?
a second antibody is added to the mixture. This antibody is "tagged" with a fluorescent dye so that it can be seen. The second antibody attaches to any antibodies and cells bound together
