Hello and thank you in advance for your help,
I have made a couple of HepG2 GFP-reporter cell lines using a custom-made plasmid.
After monoclonal selection and amplification, sequencing confirmed the insertion of the correct sequence and digital droplet PCR showed a good expression of GFP mRNA in the transfected cells.
My problem is that I can't detect any GFP protein!
I tried western-blot, confocal imaging, fluorescent plate-reader... Nothing worked.
Is there anything I should know and do about GFP expression in HepG2 cells (treatment or other)?
Many thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge and experience with me.
Best, Eglantine
