Anti- HIS Tag Antibody from Maine Biotechnology Services Incorporated into ForteBio Dip and Read Anti-HIS (HIS2) Biosensors

Newswise — Portland Maine - MBS MAB230P, monoclonal antibody to the polyhistidine (HIS) tag has been incorporated into the second generation Forte Bio Anti-HIS biosensors for rapid quantitative measurement of HIS tagged proteins. MAB230P was selected by ForteBio after demonstrating high specificity and excellent sensitivity, detecting HIS tagged proteins in nanogram quantities. The antibody is broadly reactive, recognizing HIS tags of 4X or greater, engineered at either the N- or C-terminus of the protein. The internal development and production of MAB230P allows MBS to maintain the highest quality standards and the ability to offer the lowest price in the marketplace.

The MAB230P anti-(HIS) tag antibody, is part of a growing list of MBS products aimed at assisting our customers in the detection of recombinant proteins. Quality, affordable antibodies to Maltose Binding Protein (MBP) and Glutathione S-transferase (GST) tags are also available at MBS. A project to develop new antibodies to the DYKDDDK peptide epitope tag is ongoing. HIS-tag is the most popular recombinant protein tag and MAB230P is widely sampled and used by customers with need for a high affinity, highly specific HIS-tag antibody.
