Product Data

• Applications: ELISA, IHC, WB
• Recommended Dilution: ELISA: 1/5,000.
  Western blot: 1/2,000-1/5,000.
  Immunohistochemistry on Frozen Sections: 1/500-1/2,000.
• Host: Rabbit
• Clonality: Polyclonal
• Immunogen: Synthetic peptide corresponding to the 6X HIS epitope tag (H-H-H-H-H-H) conjugated to KLH using maleimide
• Specificity: This antibody is directed against the 6X His motif.
  This affinity purified antibody is directed against the 6X His motif and is useful in determining its presence in various assays. This polyclonal anti-6X His-tag antibody detects over-expressed proteins containing the 6X His epitope tag. To date, this antibody has reacted with all His-tagged proteins tested.
  In western blotting of bacterial extracts, the antibody does not cross-react with endogenous proteins. The antibody recognizes the His-tag (His-His-His-His-His-His) fused to either the amino- or carboxy- termini of targeted proteins in transfected or transformed cells.

• Background: Epitope tags are short peptide sequences that are easily recognized by tag-specific antibodies. Due to their small size, epitope tags do not affect the tagged proteins biochemical properties. Most often, sequences encoding the epitope tag are included with target DNA at the time of cloning to produce fusion proteins containing the epitope tag sequence. This allows anti-epitope tag antibodies to serve as universal detection reagents for any tag-containing protein produced by recombinant means. This means that anti-epitope tag antibodies are a useful alternative to generating specific antibodies to identify, immunoprecipitate or immunoaffinity purify a recombinant protein. The anti-epitope tag antibody is usually functional in a variety of antibody-dependent experimental procedures. Expression vectors producing epitope tag fusion proteins are available for a variety of host expression systems including bacteria, yeast, insect and mammalian cells.
