Protein A/G

Recombinant Protein A/G fusion protein joins IgG binding domains of both Protein A and Protein G.
Protein A/G includes four Fc binding domains from Protein A and two from Protein G, yielding a final mass of 50.4 kDa. The binding dependency to pH of Protein A/G lower than Protein A, but has the additive properties of Protein A and G together. Protein A/G binds to all subclasses of human IgG, making it helpful for purifying polyclonal or monoclonal IgG antibodies whose subclasses have not been identifieed. Protein A/G binds to IgA, IgE, IgM and IgD. Protein A/G binds to all subclasses of mouse IgG excluding mouse IgA, IgM or serum albumin. This permits Protein A/G to be used in purification and detection of mouse monoclonal IgG antibodies, with no interference from IgA, IgM and serum albumin. Mouse monoclonal antibodies normally have a stronger affinity to the chimeric Protein A/G than to either Protein A or Protein G. Protein A/G also has been used for purification of macaque IgG.

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. 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 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 fusion protein has a predicted molecular mass of 47.7kDa and containing 429 amino acids.

Lyophilized white Powder containing no additives.

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Protein-A/G in sterile 18M-cm H₂O not less than 0.1mg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

>97% as determined by SDS-PAGE and RP-HPLC.

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.
