User Angela moved the his tag article to polyhistidine tag, because of a trademark issue. I have written several parts of the original article and I don't agree that a his-tag is the same as the poly histidine tag. The purification and detection methods that described in this article work for the his tag, but I am not whether everything can transferred to the poly histidine tag. The copy paste edit from Angela did not improve this article, but made it rather confusing by mixing things up.
The term his-tag is the most frequently used term in scientific literature and the term poly histidine tag is used less frequent.
The trademark name for the His tag is 6xHis tag (Qiagen, which holds an exclusive licence for parts of the technology)
