The present invention is related to a method for detecting a protein comprising: (1) providing a fusion protein, wherein the fusion protein comprises the protein which is fused with a secondary antibody detected protein tag, wherein the secondary antibody detected protein tag comprises at least one epitope selected from the Fc region of at least one primary antibody which is capable of being detected by a corresponding secondary antibody; (2) contacting the fusion protein with a secondary antibody which binds to the secondary antibody detected protein tag to form a protein/antibody complex; and (3) detecting the protein/antibody complex.

Method for detecting protein by using secondary antibody detected epitope tag

A method of preparing an epitope for a secondary antibody detected protein tag, comprising: constructing a expressing vector, comprising a nucleotide sequence for encoding the secondary antibody detected protein tag comprising at least one epitope selected from at least one primary antibody which is detected by corresponding secondary antibody; expressing the vector in a host cell; and obtaining the secondary antibody detected protein tag which is expressed in the host cell. Further, a method for constructing a protein molecular weight marker ladder, comprising constructing a plurality of recombinant protein tags with different molecular weights, wherein each the recombinant protein tag comprises at least one epitope of primary antibody. Besides, a secondary antibody detected protein tag comprises at least two peptide sequences of epitopes selected from primary antibodies of at least two different species.
