Protein a agarose

Manufactured by GoldBio

Protein A agarose is a lab equipment product that is used for the purification and isolation of antibodies from biological samples. It consists of agarose beads that have been coupled with Protein A, a bacterial protein that binds to the Fc region of immunoglobulins. The Protein A agarose allows for the selective capture and recovery of antibodies from complex mixtures, such as cell culture supernatants or serum samples.

Cloning and expression of recombinant antibodies

Antibodies were cloned as described previously (46 (link)). Briefly, VH, Vκ, and Vλ genes were amplified by reverse transcription-PCR and nested PCR reactions from singly sorted GC B cells using primer combinations specific for IgG, IgM/A, Igκ, and Igλ from previously described primer sets (47 (link)) and then sequenced. To generate recombinant mAbs, restriction sites were incorporated via PCR with primers to the corresponding heavy and light chain V and J genes. The amplified VH, Vκ, and Vλ genes were cloned into IgG1, Igκ, and Igλ expression vectors, respectively, as described previously (47 (link)–49 ). Heavy and light chain plasmids were co-transfected into Expi293F cells (Gibco) for expression, and mAbs were purified with protein A agarose (GoldBio).

Production of Anti-CLEC7A Monoclonal Antibody

Anti-mouse CLEC7A monoclonal antibody (mAb) 2A11 was previously reported (Brown et al., 2002 (link)). A DNA fragment encoding heavy chain variable (VH) and CH1 regions was cloned into the pFUSEmIgG2A-Fc1 vector with L234A, L235A, P329G (LALA-PG) mutation, which blocks Fc binding. A DNA fragment encoding the light chain was cloned into Fc-null pFUSE-mIgG2A-Fc1 vector as previously described (Molgora et al., 2020 (link)). The heavy chain and light chain plasmids were co-transfected into Expi293F cells (Thermo Fisher Scientific) for expression at mass ratio 1:2. When cell viability was below 50% (5–7 days), the supernatant was collected and filtered with 0.22-μm filters. The antibody was purified with protein A agarose (GoldBio). Final preps were concentrated to about 10 mg/mL into PBS and stored in 80°C for future use.

WP and HIP were mixed with Protein A-agarose (GoldBio), Protein G-agarose (Invitrogen), and anti-IgM-agarose (Sigma, A9935) at an approximate ratio of 1 volume of plasma to 1 volume of packed beads. The mixtures were rotated for 1 hour, pelleted by centrifugation and depleted supernatants removed from the bead pellet.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
