Anti-DDK monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing mice with a synthetic peptide (DYKDDDDK) coupled to KLH.
Reactivity Notes
DDK epitope tag (DYKDDDDK)
Specificity
The anti-DDK (also known as Flag (R) ) antibody recognizes over expressed recombinant proteins containing the DDK epitope tag (DYKDDDDK) fused to either the amino- or carboxy-termini of targeted proteins in transfected mammalian cells or other expression systems.

Applications for DYKDDDDK Epitope Tag Antibody (OTI4C5)
Application
Recommended Usage
Flow Cytometry
1:1000
Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence
1:1000
Immunoprecipitation
1:200
Simple Western
1:250
Western Blot

Application Notes
Only recognizes n-terminal form in Simple Western. In Simple Western only 10 - 15 uL of the recommended dilution is used per data point. Separated by Size-Wes, Sally Sue/Peggy Sue. This product is intended for use as a positive control in Western Blot. Overexpression of the target protein was confirmed using an antibody to DDK (FLAG) epitope tag (NBP1-71705) present on the protein construct.
Each vial of cell lysate contains 100ug of total protein which should be sufficient for 20-50 reactions. Depending on over-expression level, antibody affinity and detection system, some lysates can go as low as 0.1 ug per load. We recommend starting with 5ug of cell lysate. Add an equal amount of cell lysate and 2X SDS Sample buffer and boil the SDS samples for 10 minutes before loading.

Background: DYKDDDDK Epitope Tag
The epitope tag, DYKDDDDK, is comprised of an eight amino acid sequence derived from the gene-10 product from bacteriophage T7 and contains an enterokinase-cleavage site (1). Its hydrophilic nature and short peptide sequence reduce possible interference with protein expression, post-translational modifications, protein interactions, and protein function (2). The DYKDDDDK (FLAG(R)) epitope tag can either be fused to the N-terminus, C-terminus, or placed at an internal position of the target protein, facilitating characterization of the protein of interest using immunodetection methods. Compared to the standard DYKDDDDK epitope tag antibody, the rat monoclonal DYKDDDDK Epitope Tag antibody (clone L5) is 2-8 times more sensitive (3).
