Protein A is a highly stable 42 kDa surface protein found in the cell walls of several strains of Staphylococcus aureus. It consists of a single polypeptide chain, composed of five homologous IgG-binding domains that strongly bind Fc regions of IgG from several mammalian species. Due to its high IgG binding affinity, Protein A is commonly used as a reliable method for purifying total IgG from crude protein mixtures or conjugated to reporter enzymes for antibody detection. Our Protein A comes conveniently fused to HRP, allowing for multi-species antibody detection in Western blot, ELISA, and other immunoassay protocols.

PtX™ | Plant-Based Expression

The biotechnology behind the development and manufacture of this product, transient plant-based expression, effectively turns Nicotiana benthamiana plants into single-use, biodegradable bioreactors. Infiltrating this plant species with Agrobacterium tumefaciens cells, transformed with our proprietary plant expression vectors, allows rapid production of a wide variety of recombinant proteins. Plants are harvested and proteins are extracted by various stages of filtration, clarification, purification, and polishing – resulting in a highly functional final product.
