抄録

<jats:p> A complementary DNA for the <jats:italic>Aequorea victoria</jats:italic> green fluorescent protein (GFP) produces a fluorescent product when expressed in prokaryotic ( <jats:italic>Escherichia coli</jats:italic> ) or eukaryotic ( <jats:italic>Caenorhabditis elegans</jats:italic> ) 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. </jats:p>
