AnaSpec is pleased to announce the release of a product line of recombinant Protein A, conjugated with HiLyte™ Fluor dyes or Biotin. This universal reagent can be used to detect antibodies from different species, such as human, rabbit, mouse, rat and others. Protein A is available as labeled with HiLyte™ Fluor 488 (Ex/Em = 499/523 nm), HiLyte™ Fluor 555 (Ex/Em = 553/568 nm), HiLyte™ Fluor 647 (Ex/Em = 649/674 nm), HiLyte™ Fluor 680 (Ex/Em = 678/699 nm), and HiLyte™ Fluor 750 (Ex/Em = 754/778 nm), or biotin. The large panel of emission wavelength HiLyte™ labeled Protein A enables the visualization of different target proteins within one species. Additionally, HiLyte™ Fluor dyes exhibit brighter signal compared to classic dyes (FITC, FAM, TAMRA, etc.).

Protein A is a non-glycosylated cell wall protein of Staphylococcus aureus that can bind the Fc part of immunoglobulin molecule of different species with strong affinity (1-4). Protein A consists of five IgG binding domains (A, B, C, D, and E), each approximately 60 amino acids long with no cysteines present and two S. aureus cell membrane binding domains - X and M (3).

AnaSpec’s recombinant Protein A consists of only IgG binding domains and was expressed in E.coli. Its apparent molecular weight is approximately 30,000 Da compared to the most reported 42,000 Da for the native Protein A that is found in S. aureus.

Recombinant Protein A conjugated with HiLyte™ Fluor 488 can be used for immunoglobulin detection in IHC and IF and for assay development. Biotinylated Protein A can be used in the aforementioned applications, and for western blotting.
