Description
Protein-A/G Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain fused with a Cys at C-terminus. Protein-A/G is comprised of 5 IgG-binding regions of protein A (E-D-A-B-C) and 2 of protein G (C1-C3) containing 430 amino acids in total and having a molecular mass of 47.8kDa. Cell wall binding region, cell membrane binding region and albumin binding region have been eliminated from the recombinant Protein A/G to guarantee the maximum specific IgG binding.
Background
The recombinant Protein A/G is a genetically engineered protein comprised of 7 IgG-binding domains EDABC-C1C3, corresponding to the Protein A and G domains which are included in the recombinant sequence. The Protein A part is from Staphylococcus aureus segments E, D, A, B and C. The Protein G part is from Streptococcus segments C1 and C3. The recombinant Protein A/G has a broader binding capacity than either Protein A or Protein G alone. The recombinant Protein A/G is ideal for purification of monoclonal or polyclonal IgG antibodies. Protein A/G binds to various human, mouse and rat IgG subclasses such as the human IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4; mouse IgG2a, IgG2b, IgG3 and rat IgG2a, IgG2c. In addition, Protein A/G binds to total IgG from cow, goat, sheep, horse, rabbit, guinea pig, pig, dog and cat.
