6xHIS tag and immunofluorescence

Oddmund,

We've found that the 4-His antibody from Qiagen is very good for Western blot 
staining, better in fact than there other antibodies in our hands.

We've been expressing 6-his tagged proteins in CHO cells with mixed degree of 
success.  One protein we made in E.coli worked very well (~10% of total 
inclusion body protein) but was difficult to purify because it formed 
multimers.

Hope this helps.

Roger
