Application

Monoclonal ANTI-FLAG^® M5 antibody produced in mouse has been used in western blotting and immunofluorescence.

Binds the FLAG peptide only when it is located at the amino terminus preceded by a methionine. Binding is not Ca²⁺-dependent. Useful for detecting cytoplasmically expressed Met-FLAG fusion proteins in mammalian crude cell extracts, but not recommended for fusion proteins expressed in E. coli.
