摘要
Green fluorescent protein(GFP) has become an important tool in cell biology and is widely used as a reporter far imaging intracellular proteins and structures in live cells. Recently, spectral variants of GFP with red- and blue-shifted fluorescence emissions have been characterized, opening the possibility of double labelling with two different-coloured GFP fusion proteins. This article reviews recent advances in this technique, with special emphasis on time-lapse imaging applications in living cells.
