General description

Anti-FLAG M2 Affinity gel is a mouse monoclonal antibody that is covalently attached to agarose. The antibody binds FLAG at the N-terminal, Met-N-terminal, C-terminal and internal locations of fusion proteins. Binding is calcium-independent.

Elution - FLAG® peptide, Glycine, pH 3.5, 3x FLAG® peptide
FLAG® peptide, Glycine, pH3.5, 3x FLAG® peptide

Immunogen

Questions

1–10 of 11 Questions  
  1. How do I equilibrate the resin and how can I clean it for re-use?

    1 answer
    1. Detailed equilibration and regeneration protocols for this product are provided in the Product Information Sheet:
      http://sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/product/documents/288/183/a2220bul-ms.pdf

      Helpful?

  2. May I ask a question about the product? Does "1mL" mean 1 mL Slurry plus 50% glycerol, which is 2 mL in total? Same as other (e.g., 10 mL = 50% slurry with total 20 mL volume)

    1 answer
    1. The "1mL" indicates that this product is supplied at a volume of 1 milliliter. This ANTI-FLAG M2 affinity gel is supplied as a 50% suspension in 50% glycerol with 10 mM sodium phosphate and 150 mM sodium chloride, pH 7.4, containing 0.02% (w/v) sodium azide (PBS/A).

      Helpful?

  3. What is the bead size for this product?

    1 answer
    1. As stated in the 'PROPERTIES' section of the product page, the bead size range is 45-165 μm.

      Helpful?

  4. Is there a generic agarose bead available for purchase that can be used as a control to test for non-specific binding, in the case that something is binding to the agarose bead itself rather than the tag? If it is not listed on the site, is there a possibility of obtaining generic agarose beads through alternative means? Alternatively, could any information be provided to determine if another provider's generic agarose beads are produced in a similar manner for this specific purpose?

    1 answer
    1. Yes, there are two options available for a generic agarose bead as a control to test for non-specific binding. One option is Product Number. 4B200, Sepharose® 4B, which can be used for sample preclearing and is equivalent to the beads in the FLAG affinity product. The other option is Product Number: A0919, Mouse IgG−Agarose, which can serve as a conjugated antibody bead control.

  5. Is there a protocol for regeneration?

    1 answer
    1. Please see the link below to the product data-sheet. Instructions state that the column should be regenerated immediately after use by washing with three column volumes of 0.1 M glycine HCI, pH 3.5. The column should be immediately re-equilibrated in TBS until the effluent is at neutral pH:

  6. When using ANTI-FLAG M2 Affinity Gel, Product A2220, should I use a 3X FLAG peptide or a 1X FLAG peptide to elute my protein?

    1 answer
    1. If you have a 3X FLAG-tagged protein, then you will need to use the 3X FLAG peptide.  If you have a 1X FLAG-tagged protein, you can use the 1X FLAG peptide or the 3X FLAG peptide.  We have not noticed a significant  difference in elution efficiency by using a 3X FLAG peptide on a 1X FLAG-tagged protein.

  7. What is the Department of Transportation shipping information for this product?

    1 answer
    1. Transportation information can be found in Section 14 of the product's (M)SDS.To access the shipping information for this material, use the link on the product detail page for the product.

  8. Is my lysis buffer compatible with Product No. A2220, ANTI-FLAG® M2 Affinity Gel?

    1 answer
    1. The A2220 product information sheet (under Documents, above) contains a reagent compatibility table located on page 6. We do not recommend addition of SDS or reducing agents such as DTT, DTE or 2-mercaptoethanol to the resin. If you have a detergent listed in the table in a higher than recommended concentration, we recommend trying to dilute the sample before applying to the resin.

  9. I am using Product No. A2220, ANTI-FLAG® M2 Affinity Gel, and have a lot of non-specific proteins that are eluting with my FLAG®-tagged protein.  How can I get rid of these?

    1 answer
    1. The product bulletin for Product A2220, ANTI-FLAG® M2 affinity gel indicates:Pre-clear lysate with Mouse IgG-Agarose (Product A0919) to remove nonspecific binding proteins. Alternatively, you can use the unconjugated resin (Product 4B200) for this purpose. Other methods to remove non-specific binding from the resin would be to increase the stringency of the washes by increasing salt concentration (the resin can tolerate up to 1M NaCl) or including detergents that are compatible with the resin.

  10. When using Product No. A2220, ANTI-FLAG® M2 Affinity Gel, I see bands at 20-25 kDa and 50-60 kDa appearing in my Westerns that are not my FLAG®-tagged protein. How can I prevent this?

    1 answer
    1. As a result of the conjugation, there may be some M2 antibody that is not conjugated to the resin, but is associated with the resin and may appear in acid elutions as heavy and light chain when using the anti-mouse IgG conjugated secondary antibody. We recommend an acid wash (0.1 M glycine-HCL pH 3.5) and neutralization of the resin (do not allow the acid wash to sit on the resin longer than 20 minutes) prior to applying the lysate.  Another way to avoid this is to use a directly conjugated FLAG® antibody for detection such as product A8592 ANTI-FLAG® M2 HRP, or the rabbit anti-FLAG® polyclonal antibody, F7425.

    5 out of 5 stars.

    Works well

    This resin works well at purifying FLAG-tagged proteins very specifically if you do the correct amount of washes (5).
