Abstract
<p class="first" id="d9177431e77">A complementary DNA for the Aequorea victoria green
fluorescent protein (GFP) produces
a fluorescent product when expressed in prokaryotic (Escherichia coli) or eukaryotic
(Caenorhabditis elegans) cells. Because exogenous substrates and cofactors are not
required for this fluorescence, GFP expression can be used to monitor gene expression
and protein localization in living organisms.
