Cruz Tag 09™ Antibody (A-12): sc-8600

---

Plasmid vectors are commonly used for the expression of hybrid fusion proteins, encoding a protein of interest fused to an epitope tag. Antibodies specific for such fusion protein tags are useful for monitoring expression of the protein of interest, both in cells and in Western blot analysis. Such epitope tags in common use include Myc, GST, His, HA and GFP. Santa Cruz Biotechnology introduces a novel series of epitope tags, called the CruzTags. The CruzTag epitope tags are encoded by the pCruz mammalian expression vectors, a group of unique and effective vectors suitable for the production of recombinant tagged fusion proteins. Each pCruz expression vector encodes a unique, 12 amino acid CruzTag epitope sequence. Anti-CruzTag antibodies are suitable for detection and immunoprecipitation of recombinant fusion proteins containing the respective CruzTag.
