Virus research using GFP
References from the last 4 years in virus research using GFP and ChromoTek's GFP-Trap
An extract of the published literature since 2016
This blog provides references from the last 4 years in virus research using GFP. Most publications report how immunoprecipitation (IP)/Co-IP of GFP-fusions was conducted to identify host cell binding partners of virus proteins. In addition, mass spectrometry analysis and functional assays have been performed.
In earlier research on corona viruses (not CoVID19, but previous viruses of the corona strain) our GFP-Trap has been applied. The results of the research work have been published in these references:

There are more references from 2015 and older, which are not included in above table. You can find those and additional publications, in which GFP-Trap has been applied to generate data, here.
ChromoTek’s GFP-Trap® is a versatile tool for the immunoprecipitation (IP) of GFP-tagged proteins. It consists of an anti-GFP Nanobody that is covalently coupled to beads. For a product overview see this link.
The interaction between the Nanobody and GFP is extraordinarily stable and efficient. This allows using cell lysate originating from many different organisms that require a multitude of different IP conditions and protocols. Due to the GFP-Trap’s high affinity and low background, low abundance GFP-fusion proteins can be effectively pulled down too.
