Validation Images

Figure 1: : Immunofluorescence analysis of cultured cells using DYKDDDDK Tag antibody (Catalog number ABIN1112984, Lot number L21/2013G). Flag is present in the positive control (HEK293 cells transfected with DYKDDDDK Tag panel 1, transfected cells are indicated by green fluorescent staining) and absent from the negative control (untransfected HEK293 cells panel 2). No staining was observed in the isotype (panel 3) and secondary only (panel 4) controls. DAPI was used as a nuclear counterstain (indicated by blue fluorescent staining). Scale bar = 25 µm.

Target Details for DYKDDDDK Tag

Target: DYKDDDDK Tag

Alternative Name: Flag Tag

Target Type: Tag

Background: DYKDDDDK-Tag, or DYKDDDDK octapeptide, is a polypeptide protein tag that can be added to a protein using recombinant DNA technology. It can be used for affinity chromatography, then used to separate recombinant, overexpressed protein from wild-type protein expressed by the host organism. The peptide sequence of the DYKDDDDK-Tag is: N-DYKDDDDK-C (1012 Da). It can be used in conjunction with other affinity tags, for example a polyhistidine tag (His-tag), HA-tag or myc-tag. It can be fused to the C-terminus or the N-terminus of a protein.
