E. coli strain with expressing capsid 10A with a C-terminal FLAG tag for phage display studies.
Bacteriophage T7 is a bacteriophage capable of infecting susceptible bacterial cell (mostly E. coli). Bacteriophage T7 is a DNA virus that has a lytic life cycle. The T7 bacteriophage has several properties that make it an ideal phage for experimentation.

Product Type: | Bacteria |
Name: | BLT7FLAG |
Cell Type: | E. coli |
Organism: | Bacteria |
Genotype: | F? , ompT, hsdSB (rB ? , mB ? ), dcm, gal, 10A-FLAG |
Antibiotic Resistance: | Carbenicillin |
Competency: | No |
Growth Conditions: | Lysogeny broth (LB) or Terrific broth (TB) medium |
Transformation: | Culture BLT7FLAG bacteria until the OD600 reaches to 0.5; add IPTG (1 mM) to bacteria and continue shaking for 30 min. BLT7FLAG can be stored at 4C for up to 2 days; add T7 phage at appropriate titer to the bacteria and shake at 37C until lysis. |
Induction: | IPTG for 30 min at 37C with shaking |
Storage: | Uninduced BLT7FLAG should be stored at -80C for long-term storage; IPTG-induced BLT7FLAG should be stored at 4C for 2 days. |
Shipped: | Dry ice |
T7 phage amplified in BLT7FLAG bacteria will have all surface capsid 10A (~400 copies/phage) displaying FLAG tag. This will not affect foreign proteins displayed on C-terminus of capsid 10B.Use anti-FLAG M2 monoclonal antibody (Sigma, Cat. # F1804) to detect bound phage amplified in BLT7FLAG bacteria.
