Epitope Tags

Expression of transgenes in complex organisms is accompanied by the need for a specific and sensitive detection of a target protein. One familiar approach is the use of a protein-specific antibody. However, antibodies raised against to your protein of interest may not always be available, are often costly or time-consuming to produce, and are usually not target specific (1). Moreover antibodies are often not suitable for several applications and immunohistochemical detection is a frequent bottleneck.
