The Flag-tag was the first epitope tag to be published ([http://www.nature.com/nbt/journal/v6/n10/full/nbt1088-1204.html T.P. Hopp, K.S. Prickett et al. (1988)]). It consists of eight hydrophobic aminoacids: DYKDDDDK and the 3x Flag tag is: DYKDHDGDYKDHDIDYKDDDDK. There are a variety of monoclonal antibodies against this tag, N-terminal as well as position insensitive.

The HA-tag is an epitope derived from the HA-virus. There was first an antibody against it and then the epitope was characterized ([http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6204768 Wilson, I.A. et al. (1984)]). It was then furthermore used as an tag for protein purification and recognition ([http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2455217 Field, J. et al. (1988)]). The aminoacid sequence is: YPYDVPDYA.

The cMyc-tag is a tag derived from the cMyc gene product. Antibodies were derived from the immunisation with synthetic peptides from the cMyc sequence [http://mcb.asm.org/content/5/12/3610.short Mol. Cell. Biol. 5, 3610-3616]). The aminoacid sequence is EQKLISEEDL.

The His-tag is a metal chelating peptide ([http://www.nature.com/nbt/journal/v6/n11/full/nbt1188-1321.html Hochuli, E.; Bannwarth, W.; Döbeli, H.; Gentz, R.; Stüber, D. (1988)]) consisting of 6xHis. It can therefore be used for protein purification by metal 2+ (mostly nickel or cobalt) containing columns. There are also antibodies against this tag, or nickel/cobalt containing fluorescent probes can be used for detection. Also a immobilization is possible in nickel/cobalt coated plastikware.

The Strep-tag is a mimicry peptide of biotin which binds to Streptavidin ([http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1050386299000339 Skerra, A. and Schmidt, T.G.M. (1999)). Its sequence is WSHPQFEK. It can be used for protein purification, immobilisation with Streptavidin or Strep-tactin ([http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9415448 Voss, S. and Skerra, A. (1997))] or detection with Strep-tactin or antibodies.
