| Background: |
Protein A, found in the cell walls of various strains of Staphylococcus aureus, is comprised of a solitary polypeptide chain with minimal to no carbohydrate content. Recombinant Protein A, synthesized in E. coli, mirrors the functionality of its natural counterpart, featuring a sequential arrangement of 5 IgG-binding domains: E-D-A-B-C. |
| Shipping: |
The product is shipped at ambient temperature. Upon receipt, store it immediately at -20°C. |
| Concentration for 1 unity OD at 280 nm: |
4.48 mg/mL |
| Specificity: |
The recombinant Protein A is a genetically engineered protein containing 5 IgG-binding regions of protein A. Cell wall binding region, cell membrane binding region and albumin binding region have been removed from the recombinant Protein A to ensure the maximum specific IgG binding. The recombinant Protein A is ideal for purification of polyclonal or monoclonal IgG antibodies. Protein A binds to various human, mouse and rat IgG subclasses (e.g., human IgG1, IgG2, IgG4; mouse IgG2a, IgG2b, IgG3; rat IgG2c). It also binds to total IgG from rabbit, guinea pig, pig, dog and cat. |
| Endotoxin Level: |
Less than 0.1 EU/μg of Protein A as determined by LAL method. |
