Background

Epitope tags consisting of short sequences recognized by well-characterizated antibodies have been widely used in the study of protein expression in various systems. BTag is an epitope tag composed of a 6 residue peptide, QYPALT, derived from the highly conserved region of the major core protein, VP7, of bluetongue (BT) viruses.
Abgent's anti-BTag polyclonal antibody provides a simple solution to detect the expression of a B-tagged protein in cells.
