| Formulation |
SPA protein was lyophilized with no additives. |
| Solubility |
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized SPA in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 0.1mg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
| Purity |
Greater than 97.0% as determined by: (a) Analysis by HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE. |
| Description |
SPA Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a homodimeric non-glycosylated polypeptide chains comprised of 5 IgG-binding domains E-D-A-B-C aligned in series containing 296 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 33.4kDa containing little or no carbohydrate. Cell wall binding region, cell membrane binding region and albumin binding region were removed to ensure the highest specific IgG binding. |
| Protein Background |
Protein A is a cell wall component produced by several strains of Staphylococcus aureus. The recombinant Protein A is genetically engineered protein and holds 5 IgG-binding regions of protein A. Recombinant Protein A functions basically the same as native Protein A and is perfect for purification of polyclonal or monoclonal IgG antibodies. Protein A binds to human IgG1, IgG2 and IgG4, mouse IgG2a, IgG2b and IgG3 and rat IgG2c. Protein A also binds to total IgG from rabbit, pig, dog, cat, and guinea pig. |
| Expression host |
Escherichia Coli. |
| Synonyms |
Immunoglobulin G-binding protein A, IgG-binding protein A, Staphylococcal protein A, SPA. |
| Reagent Appearance |
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Stability |
Lyophilized SPA although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution SPA should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
