This IgG purified antibody is directed against 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.

Target Information

The approach of epitope tagging offers an easy and universal strategy for the identification and purification of proteins derived by recombinant DNA technology. The insertion of a Maltose Binding Protein (MBP) tag creates a stable fusion product that does not interfere with the bioactivity of the protein or with the biodistribution of the MBP-tagged product. Cleavage by factor Xa separates MBP from its partner protein.
