SPA Recombinant Long Form produced in E.Coli is a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain. SPA Long Form is comprised of 5 IgG-binding domains E-D-A-B-C aligned in series containing 422 amino acids (including a.a 273-400 from acc# P99134) and having a molecular mass of 46.6kDa containing little or no carbohydrate.
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.
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized SPA in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 0.1mg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
