Immunogen
This antibody was raised against Active Motif's unique AM-Tag sequence for use with Tag-ChIP-IT® (Cat No. 53022) analysis.
Buffer
Purified IgG in PBS with 30% glycerol and 0.035% sodium azide. Sodium azide is highly toxic.
Also available as AbFlex™ engineered recombinant antibodies. For details on the corresponding AbFlex Recombinant Antibody, see Catalog No. 91111.
Background
The AM-Tag antibody is specifically designed for use with Active Motif’s unique AM-Tag sequence in combination with the Tag-ChIP-IT® Kit (Catalog No. 53022). Simply clone your protein of interest into Active Motif’s pAM_1C Empty Vector (Catalog No. 53023), or add the AM-Tag sequence to the C-terminus of your protein expression vector. Following transfection, cell lysates are prepared and screened by Western blot for expression of the AM-Tag fusion protein using the AM-Tag antibody. Optimization may be required to identify the optimal conditions for transfection and protein expression.
Once transfection conditions have been optimized, the Tag-ChIP-IT® Kit can be used to isolate chromatin and perform ChIP. The AM-Tag has minimal cross reactivity with mammalian samples to ensure low background signal. The tag is also unstructured, which allows the tag to protrude from the protein of interest for maximum exposure during immunoprecipitation. This increases the enrichment efficiency of low abundance transcription factors for more reliable and consistent ChIP results.
Use of the AM-Tag for chromatin immunoprecipitation avoids the need for protein-specific ChIP-validated antibodies. It also enables the analysis of sequence variants, mutations and truncations on gene regulation.
Chromatin IP Assays
This antibody has been validated for use in ChIP and/or ChIP-Seq, and can be used with Active Motif's ChIP-IT® High Sensitivity Kit or our magnetic bead-based ChIP-IT® Express Kits.

Storage
Some products may be shipped at room temperature. This will not affect their stability or performance. Upon receipt, unconjugated antibodies may be stored at -20°C for up to 2 years. Fluorophore- & enzyme-conjugated antibodies should be stored at 4°C. Fluorophore-conjugated antibodies should be protected from light. Keep reagents on ice when not in storage; to avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles, we recommend aliquoting items that will be stored frozen into single-use fractions prior to freezing.
Guarantee
This product is guaranteed for 6 months from date of receipt.
This product is for research use only and is not for use in diagnostic procedures.
