Can this reagent detect Histidine affinity tag (HAT)? What is the dilution ratio for WB or IF?
1 answer-
This product is provided as 250 micrograms of powder per vial. The contents of the vial can be reconstituted in 250 microliters of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) to make a 1 mg/mL stock solution. Dilutions of 1:1000 to 1:2500 in PBS with TWEEN 20 (PBS-T; Product P3563 at 1X) can be used to stain histidine-tagged proteins by Western Blot (WB).
Immunofluorescence (IF) is typically less sensitive than WB, so dilutions of 1:200 to 1:1000 may be appropriate.

We have a his-tag labeled recombinant protein that we would like to have fluorescently labeled, before we use it to detect/label antibodies. I came across Ni-NTA-Atto Conjugates and I was wondering wether we could use this to label out his-tagprotein?
1 answer-
There should be no difficulty with the use of the product to label a HIS-tagged recombinant protein as long as the HIS-6 tag is in an acceptable position for binding. Typically, this is done with either a N or a C-terminal His6 tag. Please note that the only tests that we conduct on this material include a solubility, purity and a luminescence assay. Hence, we do not offer a detailed protocol for use of the product for HIS-tag protein labeling.
