MBP Tag antibody

Catalog No. ABIN299389

This Rabbit Polyclonal antibody specifically detects MBP Tag in WB and ELISA.

Quick Overview for MBP Tag antibody (ABIN299389)

Target: MBP Tag

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: Un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), ELISA

Product Details

Specificity: MBP and is useful in determining its presence in various assays. This polyclonal anti-MBP tag antibody detects over-expressed proteins containing the MBP epitope tag. To date this antibody has reacted with all MBP tagged proteins so far tested. In western blotting of bacterial extracts the antibody does not cross-react with endogenous proteins

Purification: Purified IgG

Immunogen: The MBP epitope tag recombinant protein.

Type of Immunogen: Recombinant protein

Application Details

Application Notes: Approved: ELISA, WB

Usage: Anti-MBP is optimally suited for monitoring the expression of MBP tagged fusion proteins. As such, anti- MBP/MBP can be used to identify fusion proteins containing the MBP epitope. The antibody recognizes the MBP epitope tag fused to the amino- or carboxy- termini of targeted proteins. This antibody has been tested by ELISA and western blotting against MBP containing recombinant proteins. Although not tested, this antibody is likely functional for immunoprecipitation and immunocytochemistry, and other immunodetection techniques. Maltose binding protein is a bacterial protein, which is often used in protein expression studies because it creates a stable fusion product that does not appear to interfere with the bioactivity of the protein of interest. It also allows for its easy purification from bacterial extracts under mild conditions. Anti-MBP is a companion to the pMAL protein expression system and can be used for the detection and purification of MBP-fusion proteins expressed in E. coli. By Western blot, a band is seen at ~42 kD representing MBP.
