Monoclonal antibodies against biotinylated AP-tag / Avi Tag

Scientists at the University Göttingen developed a monoclonal antibody against a biotinylable peptid (Epitope-Tag) called AP-tag or Avi Tag. This small peptide served as a substrate mimic for biotin ligase (BirA). Anti-AP antibodies are useful tools in the analysis of AP-tag fusion proteins.
