Popis: The use of stable cell lines expressing fusions with green fluorescent protein (GFP) has increased significantly in recent years. In this study we have used a range of complimentary analytical techniques to examine the characteristics of a cell line stably expressing a EGFP cell cycle sensor relative to parental U2OS cells. Analysis of cell cycle duration and cell cycle phase distribution by cell growth assays and flow cytometry revealed that the two cell lines had identical doubling times and cell cycle distributions. Measurement of EGFP fusion protein mRNA by quantitative RT-PCR indicated a EGFP sensor expression level equivalent to endogenous Cyclin B1 (7000 copies/cell in G2). Microarray analysis showed a 0.9% (>2 fold at p
