Loss? of His tag

Hello
I've been expressing His-tagged proteins in E. coli Origami cells, about 10
different proteins in all. I was using a His-probe for detection and was
getting only about half of the proteins expressed. Until I turned to
specific antibodies for detection eg, anti-prolactin and suddenly all
proteins were detected. All had been sequenced, the His-tag is 5` to the
protein sequence. Does anyone know why some are detected and others not by
the His-probe? This is a real problem because I had planned on using the
His-tag for purification.

Many thanks
Rick
