ReadiPrep™ Protein G Magnetic Agarose Beads
Protein G magnetic agarose beads are used extensively for immunoprecipitation (IP) studies and purification of immunoglobulins (IgGs).
- High capacity — binds greater than 10 mg of rabbit IgG per 1 mL of beads
- Exceptional performance — improve sample throughput and recovery while minimizing loss
- Flexible application — purify antibodies from serum, tissue extracts and other complex samples
Protein G magnetic agarose beads are provided as a 25% (250 mg / mL) suspension and are capable of binding greater than 10 mg / mL of antibody depending on the species. High quality manufacturing ensures consistent batch-to-batch performance.
To use, beads are first added to the sample, capturing antibodies of interest. Then the beads are washed while held in place by a magnet. Finally, the target is eluted using a low pH elution buffer. This process eliminates the need for centrifugation, reducing hands-on time, while maximizing sample recovery.
Protein G is a streptococcal bacteria derived protein that specifically targets the Fab and Fc regions of immunoglobulins (IgGs). The table below shows the binding affinity of protein G and protein A for IgGs of different species [1,2].
| Species | Immunoglobulin (IgG) | Protein G binding | Protein A binding |
| Human | IgG | ++++ | ++++ |
| IgG1 | ++++ | ++++ | |
| IgG2 | ++++ | ++++ | |
| IgG3 | ++++ | - | |
| IgG4 | ++++ | ++++ | |
| Mouse | IgG1 | ++++ | + |
| IgG2a | ++++ | ++++ | |
| IgG2b | +++ | +++ | |
| IgG3 | +++ | ++ | |
| Rat | IgG1 | + | - |
| IgG2a | ++++ | - | |
| IgG2b | ++ | - | |
| IgG2c | ++ | + | |
| Rabbit | IgG | +++ | ++++ |
| Sheep | IgG | ++ | - |
| Goat | IgG | ++ | - |
