    Product Usage Information

    Application Dilution
    Western Blotting 1:1000

    Storage

    Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/mL BSA, and 50% glycerol. Store at –20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.

    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Avi-Tag Antibody detects exogenously expressed proteins containing the Avi epitope tag. This antibody recognizes the Avi tag fused to either the amino or carboxy terminus of targeted proteins in transfected cells. Avi-Tag Antibody detects exogenously expressed avi-tagged proteins in cells expressed under a CMV promoter. Expression under other promoters has not been evaluated.

    Species Reactivity:

    All Species Expected

    Source / Purification

    Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide containing the Avi sequence (GLNDIFEAQKIEWHE). Antibodies are purified by peptide affinity chromatography.

    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.

    Avi-Tag is a small artificial peptide tag specifically recognized and biotinylated by the E. coli biotin ligase BirA (1). Biotinylated avi-tagged proteins can be detected or purified by streptavidin or avidin, exploiting their strong affinity for biotin (1,2).
