Product Summary for HA Tag Antibody (C.15200190)

Immunogen

This HA Tag Antibody (C.15200190) was raised in mouse against the HA tag (amino acid sequence YPYDVPDYA) using a KLHconjugated synthetic peptide.

Clonality

Monoclonal

Host

Mouse

Isotype

IgG3

Description

The HA antibody recognizes the influenza Hemagglutinin epitope which is extensively used as a protein tag in expression vectors. This antibody is extremely specific and allows unambiguous identification and quantitative analysis of HA tagged proteins.

Western Blot: HA Tag Antibody (C.15200190) [NBP2-59172]

Western Blot: HA Tag Antibody (C.15200190) [NBP2-59172] - Whole cell extracts from HEK293 cells transfected with an HA-tagged expression vector using the antibody directed against HA at 1:1,000. Figure shows the results for untransfected cells, used as a negative control (lane 1) and for cells transfected with a HA-tagged protein (lane 2). The MW marker (in kDa) is shown on the left. A single band is clearly visible in lane 2, but absent in lane 1 showing the high specificity of the HA antibody.

Background: HA Tag

Human influenza hemagglutinin (HA) is a glycoprotein required for the infectivity of the human virus and is expressed as a homotrimer on the surface of the viral capsid (1). As a major antigen of the influenza virus, HA constantly evolves to escape herd immunity via antigenic shift which can lead to pandemics (2). The HA tag (YPYDVPDYA-tag) itself has a molecular weight of 1.1 kDa and is a linear epitope derived from amino acids 98-106 of the HA protein. It is used extensively as a general epitope tag in expression vectors (2, 3). The HA tag is frequently added to the N- or C- terminus of a protein of interest to facilitate protein purification, detection, and labeling using anti-HA antibodies (3, 4). HA Tag is cleaved by caspase 3/7 resulting in total loss of immunoreactivity, making it unsuitable for the study of apoptosis (5).
