Fluorescence Produced by Transfection Reagents Can Be Confused with Green Fluorescent Proteins in Mammalian Cells

The Aequorea victoria green fluorescent protein (GFP) reporter system is a convenient way to monitor gene expression and other cellular functions in mammalian cells. To study gene expression, a GFP-fusion plasmid construct is often transfected into mammalian cells using a variety of methods includin...
