Can fluorescent protein-expressing cells be fixed?
Yes, fluorescent protein-expressing cells can be fixed using 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS for 10 min followed by one quick PBS rinse and 3 x 5 min washes with 1 mL PBS.
Are the fluorescent proteins offered by Thermo Fisher Scientific (EmGFP, YFP, CFP, BFP and Cycle 3 GFP) humanized?
Yes, all of the fluorescent proteins offered by (EmGFP, YFP, CFP, BFP and Cycle 3 GFP) have been humanized for optimal mammalian expression.

Abstract
Resolution of de novo HIV production and trafficking in immature dendritic cells.
Authors:Turville SG, Aravantinou M, Stössel H, Romani N, Robbiani M,
Journal:Nat Methods
PubMed ID:18059278
'The challenge in observing de novo virus production in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected dendritic cells (DCs) is the lack of resolution between cytosolic immature and endocytic mature HIV gag protein. To track HIV production, we developed an infectious HIV construct bearing a diothiol-resistant tetracysteine motif (dTCM) at the C terminus ... More
Identification of an intracellular trafficking and assembly pathway for HIV-1 gag.
Authors:Perlman M, Resh MD
Journal:Traffic
PubMed ID:16683918
'Retroviral Gag proteins are membrane-bound polyproteins that are necessary and sufficient for virus-like particle (VLP) formation. It is not known how Gag traffics through the cell or how the site of particle production is determined. Here we use two techniques, biarsenical/tetracysteine (TC) labeling and release from a cycloheximide block, to ... More
Real-time visualization of HIV-1 GAG trafficking in infected macrophages.

PubMed ID:18369466
'HIV-1 particle production is driven by the Gag precursor protein Pr55(Gag). Despite significant progress in defining both the viral and cellular determinants of HIV-1 assembly and release, the trafficking pathway used by Gag to reach its site of assembly in the infected cell remains to be elucidated. The Gag trafficking ... More
Site-specific, orthogonal labeling of proteins in intact cells with two small biarsenical fluorophores.
Authors:Zürn A, Klenk C, Zabel U, Reiner S, Lohse MJ, Hoffmann C,
Journal:Bioconjug Chem
PubMed ID:20429545
'The fusion of fluorescent proteins to proteins of interest has greatly advanced fluorescence microscopy, but is often limited by their large size. Here, we report site-specific, orthogonal labeling of two cellular proteins in intact cells with two small fluorescent dyes: fluorescein arsenical hairpin binder, FlAsH, and its red analogue, ReAsH, ...

Fluorescence imaging of amyloid formation in living cells by a functional, tetracysteine-tagged alpha-synuclein.
'Alpha-synuclein is a major component of intraneuronal protein aggregates constituting a distinctive feature of Parkinson disease. To date, fluorescence imaging of dynamic processes leading to such amyloid deposits in living cells has not been feasible. To address this need, we generated a recombinant alpha-synuclein (alpha-synuclein-C4) bearing a tetracysteine target for ... More
