Anti-c-Myc (polyclonal)

c-Myc

HEK293 cells were transfected with the indicated plasmid (SARS-CoV-2 N myc tagged, PMID: 34799561, TBEV NS3-HA, PMID: 29321318, Rab5 mcherry, Addgene: 4920, GFP-HIS) using genejuice transfection reagent (EMD Millipore) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. After 24 hours of transfection, cells were fixed in 4% formaldehyde and permeabilized in PBS containing 0.5% Triton X-100 and 20 mM glycine. Then, cells were stained with the primary anti-Myc tag antibodies at a concentration of 1 μg/mL for 1 hour at room temperature. Followed by three washes in PBS. Cells were then stained using secondary antibodies, goat anti-chicken Alexa488 (1:500, Invitrogen A11039) in PBS containing 2% BSA for 1h at RT. Nuclei were stained using DAPI (1 μg/mL). Images were acquired using a Leica SP8 Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope with a 63x oil objective (Leica) and Leica Application Suit X software (LAS X, Leica).

c-Myc is derived from Myc proto-oncogene protein. A short peptide located between amino acids 408-420 is used as an epitope tag, that is easily recognized by tag specific antibodies. This is a universal detection reagent which will allow detection of any tag containing protein.

This antibody is directly conjugated to Biotin.
