Protein A, cl-APC conjugated
Introduction:
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. It migrates with an apparent molecular mass of 45kDa in SDS-PAGE.
Allophycocyanin (APC), purified from Spirulina, is made up of alpha and beta subunits and is present as a trimer (αβ)3, which is unstable and susceptible to dissociation at low concentrations. The monomer, αβ, has a lower fluorescence quantum yield compared to the trimer and the maximal absorption is also shifted to 620 nm. The chemically cross-linked APC trimer (cl-APC) is much more stable than the native APC trimer, but still retains the same spectroscopic properties as the native APC trimer.
Protein A, cl-APC conjugated is a protein A labeled by cl-APC
Formulation: 100 µg of Protein A conjugated with cl-APC in PBS.
Excitation Laser: Red Laser (651 nm)
Application: In 0.1 ml PBS
Immunofluorescence (IF) 1: 50-1:200
Flow cytometry 1: 100-1:500.
The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
Specificity:
The interaction between Protein A and IgG is not equivalent for all species. Even within a species, Protein A interacts with some subclasses of IgG and not others. For instance, human IgG1, IgG2 and IgG4 bind strongly, while IgG3 does not bind. There are also many instances in which monoclonal antibodies do not bind to Protein A, especially the majority of rat immunoglobulins and mouse IgG1.
