      | Product Name | D7324 Tag, Mouse Monoclonal Antibody (Clone 1E2) |  
      | Overview | The D7324 tag (APTKAKRRVVQREKR) is derived from the conserved C-terminus of HIV-1 gp120, corresponding to amino acids 497–511 of the BH10 strain (Ratner L. et al., Nature, 313, 277-284, 1985). Initially, this epitope was used for capturing HIV-1 envelope proteins with a goat polyclonal antibody (D7324) in capture ELISA assays. Subsequently, the D7324 tag has been widely adopted as an epitope tag for recombinant soluble membrane proteins—including those from HIV-1, SIV, Dengue, Zika, and Lassa virus—for capture ELISA in antibody response detection and monoclonal antibody screening. Many recombinant viral envelope proteins are engineered to express a C-terminal D7324 tag, which does not interfere with protein bioactivity. The 1E2 monoclonal antibody specifically captures C-terminal D7324-tagged fusion proteins as well as native Env from lysates of HIV-1 virions or infected cells. |
