Specificity / Sensitivity
GST (26H1) Mouse mAb detects transfected glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion proteins.
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a GST fusion protein.
Western Blotting
Western blot analysis of extracts from transfected cells overexpressing GST-Bad and untransfected control, using GST (26H1) Mouse mAb (left) or anti-Bad Antibody (right).
IF-IC
Immunocytochemical staining of cells expressing GST-PAK2 protein (left) or cells without transfected protein (right), using GST (26H1) Mouse mAb.
Background
Epitope tags are useful for the labeling and detection of proteins using immunoblotting, immunoprecipitation, and immunostaining techniques. Because of their small size, they are unlikely to affect the tagged protein's biochemical properties.
Glutathione S-transferase (GST) is a widely used fusion partner, since it provides both an easily detectable Tag and a simple purification process with little effect on the biological function of the protein of interest. Numerous vectors containing GST-Tag have been developed for both prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems over the past decade (1-3).
