Protein A/G
Protein A/G is a recombinant fusion protein that combines IgG binding domains of both protein A and protein G. Protein A/G contains four Fc binding domains from protein A and two from protein G, yielding a final mass of 50,460 daltons. The binding of protein A/G is less pH-dependent than protein A, but otherwise has the additive properties of protein A and G.
Protein A/G binds to all subclasses of human IgG, making it useful for purifying
Other antibody binding proteins
In addition to protein A/G, other immunoglobulin-binding bacterial proteins such as protein A, protein G and protein L are all commonly used to purify, immobilize or detect immunoglobulins. Each of these immunoglobulin-binding proteins has a different antibody binding profile in terms of the portion of the antibody that is recognized and the species and type of antibodies.
