Anti-Myc Tag, clone 4A6, agarose conjugate

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.

4A6

Recognizes and is specific for recombinant proteins containing the Myc epitope tag (EQKLISEEDL) in a variety of sequence contexts. Also recognizes human Myc.

• Immunoaffinity Purification

• MYC
• C-MYC
• c-Myc

Routinely evaluated by immunoprecipitation of Myc-tagged Akt/PKB from a COS transfected cell lysate, subsequent detection using anti-Myc Tag (05-724).

Immunoprecipitation Analysis:
4 μg of anti-Myc Tag, clone 4A6, agarose conjugate immunoprecipitated Myc-tagged Akt/PKB from 250 μg of a COS transfected cell lysate, which was then detected by immunoblot analysis, using 0.5 μg/mL of anti-Myc Tag, clone 4A6 (Catalog # 05-724).
