I don't believe you could answer that question without testing.  One anti-GFP could cross-react when another wouldn't ... they are similar molecules so it just depends which epitopes you are targeting.

Subject: GFP and mCherry

Quick question:

Does someone knows if the antibody anti-GFP would cross-react also with the mCherry?

I assume the answer is no but i cannot find any specification. I could only found no cross-reactivity of DsRed antibodies with GFP......

Thanks in advance

Valeria
