Description
The epiTAP Express™ System contains a promoter sequence that automatically
adds an HA tag to the 5' end of TAP Express™-amplified genes (Figure 1).
This HA epitope tag makes it possible to rapidly screen hundreds of genes for
intracellular localization studies in as little as one day. The epiTAP
Express™ System enhances the speed and ease of high-throughput screening
applications such as: antigen screening from complex organisms, screening of
cDNA libraries for identification of genes with pharmacological activity, studying
intracellular localization of genes, and many other functional genomics applications.
