VP16 antibody

[Quirien boone]

Dear readers,

I am a PhD student working in the plant field. I use a GAL4-VP16
transactivation system for regulating gene expression. Now I've been
trying to detect the protein on Western blots using a monoclonal
antibody raised against the GAL4 DNA binding domain. But, this gives a
high background. Now I thought of using a VP16-raised antibody. Can
anyone provide me with some info on whether there have been published or
if they are commercially available?

Thanx,
