This mouse IgG1k monoclonal antibody was raised against a synthetic peptide (GLNDIFEAQKIEWHE) and recognizes biotinylable peptide (Epitope-Tag) called AP-tag .
Highlights:
- Biotin-based detection system, applicable to the analysis of transmembrane protein trafficking (i.e., quantification of receptor-internalization from the cell surface into the cell)
- Binding of EF10 to the target protein is not affected by biotinylation of the acceptor sequence
- Suitable for Immunofluorescence staining, ELISA, Biological Function (Endocytosis Assay) and Flow Cytometry applications
Epitope tags have been widely used in the study of protein expression in various systems. The 15-residue peptide served as a substrate mimic for biotin ligase (BirA), which usually recognizes the much larger protein domain. Using this antibody an alternative method was developed to analyse receptor internalization and recycling which allows a more detailed analysis of receptor trafficking compared to classical antibody-based detection methods. This biotin-based detection system may be generally applicable to the analysis of transmembrane protein trafficking.

Double immunoflourescence (anti-AP/streptavidin) of CXCR4-/CCR5-expressing cells during ligand- induced internalization (30’) and recycling (60’)
Prior to stimulation and staining CXCR4-AP (right) and CCR5-AP (left) expressing RBL cells were seeded on glass cover slips. Cells were enzymatically biotinylated and stimulated with the corresponding ligand (125 nM CCL5, CXCL12; 30’/37°C). Recycling was induced by acid wash and transfer into ligand-free medium containing receptor antagonists (30 μM AMD 3100; 3 μM TAK779). Cells were fixed with 3% PFA (15’/37°C) and permeabilized with 0.1% saponin (15’/37°C). 10 μg/ml anti-AP antibody (anti AP; with or without preincubation with 2mg /ml of the AP-peptide) and 2 μg/ml streptavidin-Alexa647 (Biotin) was used for staining (60’/on ice/dark). Samples were fixed with mounting medium and analyzed by confocal laser scanning microscopy. Scale bar 10 μM.
