Product Description

For non-radioactive detection of receptor/ligand interaction.

This single vector system is the third generation AP-TAG technology. A secreted ligand or soluble receptor can be fused with secreted alkaline phosphatase (AP) at either its N- or C-terminus to produce an "AP-body". The resulting AP fusion protein can be expressed as a secreted protein and used directly as highly sensitive affinity agents much like an antibody. The epitope tags (6xHis and myc) allow easy purification, detection and interaction assays (IP) of the AP-fusion proteins. Other improved features are listed below.

AP-TAG Kit B
pAPtag-5 (20 µg)	40 µL
L-AP5 primer (2 µM)	100 µL
R-AP primer (2 µM)	100 µL
Colony lysis buffer	2 x 1 mL

Features	pAPtag-5
Size (kb)	5.8
AP fusion type	Ligand-AP or AP-Ligand (Receptor-AP or AP-Receptor)
Cloning sites	Sfi I, Hind III, Bgl II, BspE I or Xho I, Eco47 III, Xba I, Apa I
Promoter	CMV
SV40 Ori.	Yes
E. coli host	GH (no need for P3)
Vector selection	Ampicillin
Secretion signal	From vector or insert
AP negative control (secretes AP alone)	Yes
Affinity tags	6XHis or myc
Transfection marker	Zeocin (Invitrogen)

NOTE: pAPtag-5 plasmid vectors can be transformed or propagated in GH Competent cells (Cat. No. L301).

The L(left)-AP5 and R(right)-AP primers flanking the cloning sites of pAPtag-5 are used to check for the presence and size of DNA insert cloned into the vector and for sequence verification of the Ligand-AP or soluble receptor-AP fusion constructs (N-terminal of AP only). For C-terminal cloning, the L-AP5C and R-AP5C primers (not included in the kit) can be used (see below).

This kit is shipped on dry ice via overnight delivery. A detailed step-by-step protocol is included.

Purchase of an AP-TAG Ligand-Receptor Interaction Detection System (covered by US patents 5,554,499 and 5,801,000) comes with a limited, single-user and non-transferable sublicense for use in research applications only. If you plan to use AP-TAG technology to conduct drug screening or other commercial applications, a separate sublicense is required. Please contact GenHunter for details regarding the terms and conditions or any other questions.
