Protocols

2276:: Flow, IHC / Paraffin, Immunofluorescence, Immunoprecipitation, Western Blotting

Specificity / Sensitivity

Myc-Tag (9B11) Mouse mAb detects recombinant proteins containing the Myc epitope tag. The antibody recognizes the Myc-tag fused to either the amino or carboxy terminus of targeted proteins in transfected cells.

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues 410-419 of human c-Myc (EQKLISEEDL).

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of cell extracts expressing carboxy-terminal Myc-tagged protein (lane 1), amino-terminal Myc-tagged protein (lane 2) or control cell extracts (lane 3), using Myc-Tag (9B11) Mouse mAb.

IP

Immunoprecipitation of cell extracts alone (lane 1), extracts overexpressing carboxy-terminal Myc-tagged protein (lane 2) or amino-terminal Myc-tagged protein (lane 3), using Myc-Tag (9B11) Mouse mAb.

IHC-P (paraffin)

Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded COS cell pellets, control (left) or transfected with a carboxy-terminal Myc tagged protein (right), using Myc-Tag (9B11) Mouse mAb.

Flow Cytometry

Flow cytometric analysis of COS cells, untreated (green) or Myc transfected (blue), using Myc-Tag (9B11) Mouse mAb.

IF-IC

Confocal immunofluorescent analysis of Cos cells transfected with a Myc-tagged protein (green). Actin filaments have been labeled with DY-554 phalloidin (red). Blue pseudocolor = DRAQ5^® #4084 (fluorescent DNA dye).

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.

The Myc epitope tag is widely used to detect expression of recombinant proteins in bacteria, yeast, insect and mammalian cell systems (1).
