[Mike Holloway]

In article <3vooil$e67 at vixen.cso.uiuc.edu>, David Clayton <dclayton at uiuc.edu> says:
>1) is there a commercial source for FLAG-epitope related reagents?

IBI has a kit with pFLAG vectors.

>2) Anybody want to offer opinions as to the utility of FLAG, vs. other 
>candidates such as His, myc, HA, etc?

Flag works well in my hands for both Westerns and immunofluorescence.
