Protein A is a highly stable 42kDa 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.

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 extracted by various stages of filtration, clarification, purification, and polishing – resulting in a highly functional final product.
