Protein A is a 42 kDa single chain polypeptide isolated from the cell wall of Staphylococcus aureus Cowan I strain.
Synonyms: Monoclonal Anti-Protein A
Storage: -20C
Application: Monoclonal Anti-Protein A antibody produced in mouse has been used in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). It has also been used in western blot and dot blot analyses.
Biochem Physiol Actions: Protein A is considered as a universal reagent in biochemistry and immunology, due to its affinity for the Fc region of many mammalian immunoglobulins. It is used for different applications such as purification of immunoglobulins by affinity chromatography, cell surface studies, radioimmunoassay (RIA), enzyme immunoassay (EIA), immunoprecipitations and many other procedures. It can be used in these methods either in its native form or conjugated to various markers.
