Product Specifications

Immunogen

His Tag Antibody (33D10.D2.G8) was produced in mice by repeated immunizations with 6X His epitope tag peptide H-H-H-H-H-H conjugated to KLH using maleimide.

Reactivity Notes

6x His tag specific

Specificity

This protein-A purified antibody is directed against the 6X His motif and is useful in determining its presence in various assays. This monoclonal anti-6X His tag antibody detects over-expressed proteins containing the 6X His epitope tag. To date, this antibody has reacted with all His tagged proteins so far tested. In western blotting of bacterial extracts, the antibody does not cross-react with endogenous proteins. The antibody recognizes the His-tag (His-His-His-His-His-His) fused to either the amino- or carboxy-termini of targeted proteins in transfected or transformed cells.

Background: His Tag

A his-tag (also known as histidine tag or polyhistidine tag) is a common epitope tag that typically consists of at least 6 histidine residues fused to either the carboxyl (C-) or amino (N-) terminus of a targeted recombinant protein to facilitate its purification and detection (1). The most common his-tag is the hexahistidine (His6/6-His) tag which has a theoretical molecular weight of 0.8kda (1). The histidine residues readily interact with transition metal ions such as Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+, making immobilized metal-affinity chromatography (IMAC) the preferred technique for his-tag purification (1, 2). Metal ions are immobilized and bound to by His-tags in the IMAC column via the histidine imidazole ring. The tagged protein can be eluted off the column by washing with buffers containing a low concentration of imidazole (1, 2). Due to its relatively small size, low immunogenicity, versatility under denaturing conditions, and minimal interference with the structure and function of proteins, the his-tag is one of the most widely used tags for protein purification (1-3).
