His Tag antibody

Catalog No. ABIN1043732

Product Details anti-His Tag Antibody

Target: His Tag

Reactivity: Please inquire

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This His Tag antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), ELISA, Immunoprecipitation (IP)

Sequence: HHHHHH

Specificity: This protein-A purified antibody is directed against the 6X His motif and is useful in determining its presence in various assays. This monoclonal 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 so far 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.

Characteristics: 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 protein’s 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.

Sterility: Sterile filtered

Immunogen: 6X HIS antibody was produced in mice by repeated immunizations with 6X His epitope tag peptide H-H-H-H-H-H conjugated to KLH using maleimide.
Immunogen Type: Peptide

Clone: 33D10-D2

Isotype: IgG1 kappa

Application Details

Application Notes: Anti-6X His is optimally suited for monitoring expression of His-tagged fusion proteins. As such, anti-6X His/6X His can be used to identify fusion proteins that contain the 6X His epitope.  The antibody recognizes the His tag fused either to the amino- or carboxy- termini of targeted proteins.  This antibody has been tested by ELISA and western blotting against both the immunizing peptide and His-containing recombinant proteins.  Although not tested, this antibody is likely functional for immunoprecipitation and immunocytochemistry.

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 protein’s 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.  Supplier produces anti-epitope tag antibodies against many common epitope tags including Myc, GST, GFP, 6X His, MBP, FLAG and HA. Supplier also produces antibodies to other tags including FITC, Rhodamine (TRITC), DNP and biotin.
