General description

Protein A-Sepharose when linked with antibody, helps improving antigen binding capacity of IgG crosslinked to column matrices. In this case, binding happens between Protein A and Fc portion of the IgG molecule leaving antigen specific sites free.

Application

Protein A-Sepharose was used:
  • for immunoprecipitated placentas for protein and RNA analyses using Western blot technique.
  • in chromatin immunoprecipitation to understand the link between Mediator and remodelling of chromatin structure at specific promoters.
  • as lysis buffer to remove endogenous G-type Igs in protein extraction of brain samples from female rats.
  • in immunoprecipitation of [32P] phosphomyristin C of rabbit antiserum, to study the down-regulation of protein kinase C (PKC) and phosphomyristin C (PMC) during T-cell development.
Protein A-Sepharose is used for affinity chromatography, antibody purification and characterization, immunoaffinity matrices, protein chromatography, protein A, G and L resins, and recombinant protein expression and analysis. Protein A-Sepharose has been used to develop strategies for investigating protein interactions, to improve the detection of celiac disease, and to study diabetes in children.

Quantity

Swelling: 1 g swells to approx. 4 ml.

Physical form

Supplied as lyophilized powder stabilized with lactose and dextran.

The CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP) alpha is a leucine zipper protein that is preferentially expressed in certain cell types, such as adipocytes and hepatocytes. Here we show that C/EBP alpha mRNA is translated into two major proteins, C/EBP-42 and C/EBP-30, that
