Specificity / Sensitivity

HA-Tag (6E2) Mouse mAb detects transfected HA-tagged proteins. The antibody recognizes the HA-tag fused to either the amino- or carboxy-terminus of targeted proteins in transfected mammalian cells.

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing mice with a synthetic peptide containing the influenza hemagglutinin epitope (YPYDVPDYA) (KLH-coupled).

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts from COS cells, untransfected (lane 1) or expressing HA-tagged Akt3 (lane 2) or HA-tagged Estrogen Receptor (ER) (lane 3), using HA-Tag (6E2) Mouse mAb.

IP

IP

Immunoprecipitation of extracts from untransfected COS cells (lanes 2 and 5) or COS cells expressing HA-tagged Akt3 (lane 3) or HA-tagged Estrogen Receptor (ER) (lane 6), using HA-Tag (6E2) Mouse mAb followed by Western blot analysis using Akt Antibody #9272 (lanes 1-3) or Estrogen Receptor alpha (62A3) Mouse mAb #2512 (lanes 4-6).

IHC-P (paraffin)

IHC-P (paraffin)

Flow Cytometry

Flow Cytometry

Flow cytometric analysis of COS cells, untransfected (blue) or transfected with HA-Akt3 (green), using HA-Tag (6E2) Mouse mAb compared to a nonspecific negative control antibody (red).

IF-IC

IF-IC

Immunocytochemical staining of COS cells without transfection (left), expressing HA-tagged Akt3 (middle) or expressing HA-tagged Estrogen Receptor (right), using HA-Tag (6E2) Mouse mAb.

Background

Epitope tags are useful for the labeling and detection of proteins using immunoblotting, immunoprecipitation and immunostaining techniques. Due to their small size, they are unlikely to affect the tagged protein's biochemical properties.

The HA tag is derived from an epitope of the influenza hemagglutinin protein, which has been extensively used as a general epitope tag in expression vectors (1).
