The green fluorescent protein (GFP) has attracted much interest as a reporter for gene expression. In this paper, application of capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescent (CE-LIF) for quantitation of green fluorescence protein in cellular extracts and single cells is investigated.

โฆ Synopsis
Human embryonic kidney cells (293) were transfected with a construct containing human factor X cDNA and selected for G418 resistance. The level of expression of recombinant factor X in serum-free medium was 4 to 5 pg/ml. Purified recombinant factor X had a molecular size identical to that of normal plasma factor X. Amino-terminal sequencing revealed normal processing cleavages. The rcarboxy Glu and 13-OH Asp content of the recombinant factor X was close to 90% of the expected levels of these post-translational residues. The specific activity of recombinant factor X was about 95% of that of plasma factor X in three plasma-based clotting assays. This report demonstrates that 293 cells can produce a high level of biologically active factor X and describes a visual criterion for verifying the transfection process.

This report demonstrates that the expression of melanoma growth stimulatory activity (MGSA) mRNA can be modulated in a positive fashion in the Hs294T human melanoma cell line by PDGF and MGSA. There is close correlation between MGSA expression and the pattern of cell growth in Hs294T cells.
