Product Name:

THETM c-Myc Tag Antibody, mAb, Mouse

Catalog Number:

A00704-40

MYC protein is oncogenic protein and one of its epitope sequences (EQKLISEEDL) has been broadly used as a fusion tag. This review describes and comments the utility of a myc-tag mouse mAb from Genscript. The aim of this review is to assist researchers to make a decision when they are purchasing myc antibodies.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Western Blot

Sample

Cell lysate from transfected HEK-293T cells

Primary Incubation

1ug Ab for IP; 1:2000 for WB (0.5ug/ul) at 4C overnight

Blocking Agent

5% non-fat milk in TBST

Secondary Incubation

Results Summary

Aim: precipitate and immuno-probe myc-tagged proteinMaterials: For IP: 500ug cell lysate of 293T cells transfected with myc-tagged expression plasmid. For WB: 20ug cell lysate of 293T cells transfected with myc-tagged expression plasmid. Primary Ab: mouse mAb against myc tag (0.5ug/ul).Methods: 20ug cell lysate and 20ul precipitated protein were separated on a 4-15% gradient SDS-PAGE gel and transferred onto a PVDF membrane. After 2 hour blocking, the membrane was probed with anti-myc Ab. Results: As shown in the figure, in the Input group, the myc-tagged protein was detected without any visible non-specific bands. In the IP group, the detection of the precipitated myc-tagged protein was clearly observed. Conclusion: this myc antibody can be used in WB and IP assays.
