Transfection of cells with a plasmid encoding for the first ten strands of the GFP protein (GFP1-10) provides the means to detect cytosolic peptide import at low micromolar concentrations. Cytosolic import of the eleventh strand of the GFP protein either by electroporation or by cell-penetrating peptide-mediated import leads to formation of the full-length GFP protein and fluorescence. An increase in sensitivity is achieved through structural modifications of the peptide and the expression of GFP1-10 as a fusion protein with mCherry.
