The recombinant Protein A/G is a genetically engineered protein containing 5 IgG-binding regions of protein A and 2 of protein G. Cell wall binding region, cell membrane binding region and albumin binding region have been removed from the recombinant Protein A/G to ensure the maximum specific IgG binding. The recombinant Protein A/G is ideal for purification of polyclonal or monoclonal IgG antibodies. Protein A/G binds to various human, mouse and rat IgG subclasses (e.g., human IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4; mouse IgG2a, IgG2b, IgG3; rat IgG2a, IgG2c). It also binds to total IgG from cow, goat, sheep, house, rabbit, guinea pig, pig, dog and cat.

Background
The recombinant Protein A/G consists of 7 IgG-binding domains EDABC-C1C3, which corresponds to the Protein A and G domains that are included in the recombinant sequence. The Protein A portion is from Staphylococcus aureus segments E, D, A, B and C. The Protein G portion is from Streptococcus segments C1 and C3. The binding capacity of recombinant Protein A/G is broader than either Protein A or Protein G alone.
