Application

Anti-V5 Agarose Affinity Gel antibody produced in mouse has been used in immunoprecipitation and recombinant protein purification.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Recombinant DNA technology enables the attachment of genes of interest to specific sequences or genes that can provide ′affinity handles′ designed to enable the selective identification and purification of the protein of interest. The addition of a V5 tag sequence (GKPIPNPLLGLDST) to a given gene creates a stable fusion product that does not appear to interfere with the bioactivity of the protein, or with the biodistribution of the tagged product. Many recombinant proteins have been engineered to express a short sequence derived from the V5 from simian virus known as V5-tag. Anti-“tag” agarose conjugates may facilitate the detection, isolation and purification of these proteins.

General description

The Anti-V5 Agarose Affinity Gel is composed of the monolonal anti-V5 antibody conjugated to cyanogen bromide-activated beaded agarose. The antibody recognizes the V5-tagged recombinant fusion proteins expressed in transfected mammalian cells.

Anti-V5 Agarose Affinity Gel is made of purified immunoglobulin fraction of monoclonal anti-V5 isolated from ascites fluid of the V5-10 hybridoma coupled to cyanogen bromide-activated beaded agarose. The purified monoclonal antibody is immobilized on agarose.

Physical form

Suspension of beaded agarose (1:1 v/v) in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

Specificity

Recognizes V5 Tag (GKPIPNPLLGLDST) fusion proteins

Storage and Stability

For continuous use and extended storage, store at 2 °C to 8 °C. Do not freeze.
