Myc-Tag (9B11) Mouse mAb (Alexa Fluor® 555 Conjugate) detects transfected proteins containing the Myc epitope tag. The antibody recognizes the Myc-tag fused to either the amino or carboxy terminus of targeted proteins in transfected mammalian cells.
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues 410-419 of human c-Myc (EQKLISEEDL). The antibody was conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 555 under optimal conditions with an F/P ratio of 2-6.
Description
This Cell Signaling Technology antibody was conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 555 fluorescent dye and tested in-house for immunofluorescence in cells transfected with Myc-tagged protein.
Background
Epitope tags are useful for the labeling and detection of proteins using immunoblotting, immunoprecipitation, and immunostaining techniques. Due to their small size, they are unlikely to affect the tagged protein's biochemical properties.The Myc epitope tag is widely used to detect expression of recombinant proteins in bacteria, yeast, insect and mammalian cell systems (1).
