Thermo Fisher Scientific S-peptide Epitope Tag Monoclonal Antibody (6.2)

Applications and Tested Dilutions

Product Specifications

Product Specific Information

This antibody detects the S-peptide in human samples.
MA1-981 has been successfully used in Western blot, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence procedures.
By Western blot, this antibody detects the S-peptide in K562 cells. In immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence, MA1-981 recognizes the S-peptide in transfected K562 cells.

The MA1-981 immunogen corresponds to the S-peptide conjugated through a C-terminal cysteine to keyhole limpet hemocyanin.

Target Information

The S-Peptide epitope tag (S-Tag™) is used for applications such as localization analysis, expression detection, and purification of polypeptides from mammalian cells.
Its small size (15 amino acids), purification capability without antibodies, and low background in mammalian tissues make it a valuable alternative to other epitope tags.

Epitope tagging enables detection and purification of proteins expressed by cloned genes. Expression vectors are engineered with a nucleotide sequence encoding the peptide tag, producing fusion proteins that can be detected or purified using specific antibodies to the tag, removing the need for antibodies to each new protein.
