Specificity / Sensitivity
Myc-Tag (9B11) Mouse Monoclonal Antibody (Alexa Fluor® 488 Conjugate) detects exogenously expressed proteins containing the Myc epitope tag. This antibody conjugate recognizes the Myc tag fused to either the amino or carboxy terminus of targeted proteins in transfected cells. This antibody conjugate detects exogenously expressed Myc-tagged proteins in cells expressed under a CMV promoter. Expression under other promoters has not been evaluated. This antibody conjugate may cross-react with c-myc protein.

Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues 410-419 of human c-Myc (EQKLISEEDL). The antibody was conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 488 under optimal conditions with an F/P ratio of 2-6.
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.
