FOR immunoprecipitation in plant , flag tag or His tag - (Jan/23/2011 )
I want to immunoprecipitation my protein from transgenic plant. At begining, I prepare to fuse my protein with 3xFLAG tag, then use A2220 (ANTI-FLAG M2 Affinity Gel) to do the immunoprecipitate (there are a lot of paper do immunoprecipitation as I described ). But several day ago, someone suggest me to fuse my protein with 6XHis tag,than use Ni-NTA for the immunoprecipitation. (I can't find paper do like this)
My question is which one is better and why?

Apparently His-tags are suited for affinity techniques versus FLAG-tags are better for chromatography
I've been told the same thing, to use Ni-NTA resins because of its higher binding capacity.
