Product Information
V5-Trap® Agarose is an affinity reagent for IP and purification of V5-tagged proteins. It consists of an anti-V5 Nanobody/ VHH coupled to agarose beads.
| Description | The V5-Trap Agarose Kit contains V5-Trap Agarose, lysis, wash, and elution buffers for efficient immunoprecipitation of V5-tagged proteins and their interacting factors.
• Fast, reliable & efficient one-step immunoprecipitation • Effective elution with V5-peptide • No heavy & light antibody chains on the SDS-PAGE • Stable under harsh washing conditions • Suitable for downstream mass spec analysis |
| Applications | IP, CoIP, ChIP, RIP, Protein purification |
| Specificity/Target | V5-tag sequence GKPIPNPLLGLDST at the N-terminus, C-terminus, or internal site of the fusion protein. |
| Binding capacity | 15 μg of recombinant V5-tagged protein (~30 kDa) per 25 μL bead slurry |
| Conjugate | Agarose beads; bead size: ~ 90 µm (cross-linked 4 % agarose beads) |
| Elution buffer | V5-peptide SDS sample buffer 0.2 M glycine pH 2.5 |
| Wash buffer compatibility | 2 % Nonidet P40 Substitute, 2 % Triton X-100, 1 M NaCl, 5 mM TCEP, 5 mM DTT, 10 mM ß-mercaptoethanol, 4 M Urea |
