A set of twelve vectors encoding novel fluorescent proteins in four colors: cyan, green, red and yellow. Four constructs are prokaryotic expression vectors that also serve as convenient sources of fluorescent protein cDNAs. In each of these prokaryotic vectors, the full-length cDNA is flanked by distinct MCSs to facilitate excision from the vector and insertion into other eukaryotic or prokaryotic expression constructs. Eight of the vectors are designed for studies in mammalian systems. These vectors allow expression of a protein of interest as a C- or N-terminal fusion to any of the four fluorescent proteins. The fusion vectors can also be used as cotransfection markers; the unmodified vectors will express fluorescent protein.
