Detection of DYKDDDDK Epitope Tag in HEK293 cells by Flow Cytometry.
HEK293 cells transfected with DYKDDDDK-tagged proteins (filled histogram) vs Irrelevant HEK293 wild type cells (open histogram) were stained with Rabbit Anti-DYKDDDDK Epitope Tag Alexa Fluor® 488-conjugated Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # IC8529G) at 0.001 ug/106 cells. To facilitate intracellular staining, cells were fixed and permeabilized with Flow Cytometry Fixation Buffer (Catalog # FC004).

Background: DYKDDDDK Epitope Tag
The epitope tag, DYKDDDDK, is comprised of an eight amino acid sequence derived from the gene-10 product from bacteriophage T7 and contains an enterokinase-cleavage site (1). Its hydrophilic nature and short peptide sequence reduce possible interference with protein expression, post-translational modifications, protein interactions, and protein function (2). The DYKDDDDK (FLAG(R)) epitope tag can either be fused to the N-terminus, C-terminus, or placed at an internal position of the target protein, facilitating characterization of the protein of interest using immunodetection methods. Compared to the standard DYKDDDDK epitope tag antibody, the rat monoclonal DYKDDDDK Epitope Tag antibody (clone L5) is 2-8 times more sensitive (3).
