Protein A is a highly stable surface receptor produced by Staphylococcus aureus, which is capable of binding the Fc portion of immunoglobulins, especially IgGs, from a large number of species (Boyle and Reis, 1987).
Each protein A molecule can bind 2 molecules of IgG, allowing the formation of a precipitate (Sjöholm, 1975).
Applications:Suitable for FLISA (Fluorescent), Western Blot and Immunofluorescence.
Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Absorption Wavelength:495nm
Emission Wavelength:528nm
Fluorochrome/Protein Ratio:3.6 moles Fluorescein (FITC) per mole of IgG.
Storage and Stability:May be stored at 4°C for short-term only.
For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20°C.
Aliquots are stable for at least 6 months at -20°C.
For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
