Protein A Agarose for the Elution of Antibodies under Mild Conditions
Protein A is a bacterial cell wall component from Staphylococcus aureus1) that specifically binds to the Fc region of IgG derived from various species including human, rabbit, mouse and cow.2) Protein A agarose in which protein A bound to an agarose resin by a covalent coupling method can be used in antibody purification and immunoprecipitation. Antibody purification using protein A agarose usually requires an acidic buffer solution between pH 2.5 and pH 3.0 during elution steps. However, this frequently causes the antibody to undergo acid denaturation, changing its higher-order structure, resulting in antibody aggregation and inactivation. TCI’s protein A agarose (1) uses a genetically modified protein A mutant which allows for the elution of antibodies under mild conditions (pH 4.0), which most antibodies do not denature, as shown in Figure 1.
