Description
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. Rockland Immunochemicals produces anti-epitope tag antibodies against many common epitope tags including Myc, GST, GFP, 6X His, MBP, FLAG and HA. VSV-G or vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein is found within the pseudo lentiviral cloning vector pHCMV-VSV-G.
Application Note
This affinity purified antibody has been tested for use in ELISA and western blot. This product is suitable for immunofluorescence microscopy. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. For standard indirect immunofluorescence assay we recommend paraformaldehyde fixation with detergent permeabilization of cells infected with VSV or transfected with the wild-type VSV-G protein. Staining is quite clean and specific for both sources of the G protein when diluted at least 1/200. At higher concentrations, a filamentous background staining may be present.
Purity/Specificity
This affinity purified antibody is directed against VSV-G protein. The product was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity purification.
