Protein A Antibody (946418) [Unconjugated]

Western blot shows Recombinant Protein A Long, Recombinant Protein A, and Recombinant Protein G (negative control). The left panel of the PVDF membrane was probed with 2 µg/mL of Rat Anti-Protein A Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB99761) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Rat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF005). A specific band was detected for Protein A at approximately 33 kDa and Protein A Long at approximately 55 kDa (as indicated). To show specificity, the right panel was probed with Anti-Rat IgG Antibody (negative control). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

Simple Western lane view recombinant Protein A Long, recombinant Protein A, and recombinant Protein G (negative control), loaded at 0.2 mg/mL. A specific band was detected for Protein A at approximately 40 kDa and Protein A Long at approximately 58 kDa (as indicated) using 20 µg/mL of Rat Anti-Protein A Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB99761) followed by 1:50 dilution of HRP-conjugated Anti-Rat IgG Secondary Antibody (HAF005). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using the 12-230 kDa separation system.

Background

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 used in 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.

Limitations

This product is for research use only and is not approved for use in humans or in clinical diagnosis. Primary Antibodies are guaranteed for 1 year from date of receipt.

FAQs for Protein A Antibody (MAB99761). (Showing 1 - 1 of 1 FAQ).

1. During my master thesis, I am working on a large scale ribosome affinity purification in Trypanosoma brucei. Unfortunately, we have some problems with the present antibody (IgG against protein A, extracted from chicken). Therefore, we are searching a better and more efficient alternative. Ideally it is extracted from guinea pig, rat, mouse or rabbit. Searching suitable antibodies, I found you have some in your range of products. Since we need to work large scale and will need a bigger amount of antibodies the next months, we would like to get the possibility to test the new antibodies first. Therefore I would like to ask for an aliquot for testing. You would really help me finding an good alternative!
