We use anti-myc from Babco and they are very good. recently it has
come to my attention that ATCC sells hybridoma cell line that makes
anti-myc. In the long run, buying cells and purifying ab yourself will
be much cheaper (and ab much more pure!). 

I have not seen good ab that recognize 6his ONLY. Invitrogen's
"anti his tag" is very good but the epitope is NOT his tag (rather 
tripeptide found in all Invitrogen's vectors plus his tag).
