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. Anti-epitope tag antibodies serve as universal detection reagents for any tag containing protein produced by recombinant means.  Epitope tag antibodies are a useful alternative to generating specific antibodies to identify, immunoprecipitate or immunoaffinity purify a recombinant protein.  Rockland Immunochemicals produces anti-epitope tag antibodies against many common epitope tags including Myc, GST, GFP, 6X His, MBP, FLAG® and HA.

Target Details

FLAG-Tag
Conjugated Peptide
DYKDDDDK Tag (Anti-FLAG®) Antibody Agarose Conjugated was produced in mice by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to the FLAG® epitope tag peptide DYKDDDDK (Asp-Tyr-Lys-Asp-Asp-Asp-Asp-Lys) conjugated to KLH.
DYKDDDDK Tag (Anti-FLAG®) Antibody Agarose Conjugated is a purified mouse IgG2a monoclonal antibody coupled to activated agarose. This product is intended for purification of proteins containing the FLAG® epitope tag sequence. Binding Specificity: DYKDDDDK Tag (Anti-FLAG®) Antibody Agarose Conjugated binds the FLAG® epitope tag sequence (Asp-Tyr-Lys-Asp-Asp-Asp-Asp-Lys) fused to the amino terminal, carboxy terminal or internal locations of targeted recombinant proteins expressed in transfected or transformed cells. D-Y-K-D-D-D-D-K peptide (p/n 000-000-383) is recommended for competitive elution to recover fusion protein (see protocol).

Application Details

IP, WB
DYKDDDDK Tag (Anti-FLAG®) Antibody Agarose Conjugated has been tested by IP and western blot and is optimally suited for immunoprecipitation and purification of FLAG® tagged fusion proteins.DYKDDDDK Tag (Anti-FLAG®) Antibody Agarose Conjugated recognizes the FLAG® epitope tag fused to either the amino- or carboxy-terminal ends or an internal location of targeted fusion proteins. The epitope tag peptide sequence was first derived from the 11-amino-acid leader peptide of the gene-10 product from bacteriophage T7. DYKDDDDK is the most commonly used hydrophilic octapeptide tag. Use D-Y-K-D-D-D-D-K peptide (p/n 000-000-383) for competitive elution to recover fusion protein (see protocol). Anti-FLAG® is a registered trademark of Sigma-Aldrich. Refer to the protocol for complete instructions for use including preferred buffers for elution. Do not use buffers that may denature the anti-DYKDDDDK antibody.
