| Protein per Gram Powder | See Label. |
| Concentration for 1 unity DO at 280 nm | 4.42 mg/ml |
| Physical Appearance | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Purity | > 98 % by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses. |
| Specificity | 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 ideal for 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. |
| Endotoxin Level | Less than 0.1 EU/μg of Protein A-Cys as determined by LAL method. |
| Formulation | Lyophilized from additive free solution. |
| Stability & Storage | Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. - 12 months from date of receipt, -20 to -70 °C as supplied. - 1 month, 2 to 8 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution. - 3 months, -20 to -70 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution. |
| Reconstitution | Dissolve in distilled water or saline. |
| Shipping | The product is shipped at ambient temperature. Upon receipt, store it immediately at -20 °C. |

| Background | Protein A is a cell wall component produced by several strains of Staphylococcus aureus that consists of a single polypeptide chain and contains little or no carbohydrate. Recombinant Protein A is produced in E.Coli and functions essentially the same as native Protein A. It consists of 5 IgG-binding domains E-D-A-B-C aligned in series. |
