  • Relevance

    Protein A is a surface protein of S.aureus which binds IgG molecules by their Fc region. In serum, the bacteria will bind IgG molecules in the wrong orientation on their surface which hinders opsonization and phagocytosis. Mutants of S. aureus lacking protein A are more efficiently phagocytosed in vitro, and mutants in infection models have diminished virulence. Due to its affinity for the Fc region of many mammalian immunoglobulins, protein A is considered a universal reagent in biochemistry and immunology.

  • Cellular localization

    Secreted; cell wall.

Question

Inquiry: Dear Sir/Madam We have purchased abcam Protein A HRP(ab 7456) My query is regarding the dilution of Protein A HRP(ab 7456) to be used in western blotting for development with DAB as substrate
Thanking you Sincerely

Answer

Thank you for your enquiry.

The best dilution of ab7456 for your application will depend on thethe individual experiment which will require some individual optimization. However, I can suggest dilutions of from 1:1000 and 1:5000 are usually good starting points for optimization .

I hope this will be helpful to you. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Question

band of interest is at about 27 kDda where light chain of endogenous IgG (from tissue samples) appears
send reference for using protein A-HRP or protein G-HRP to not detect the heavy and light chain of endogenous IgG in WB

Answer

Thank you for contacting us.

Both protein A-HRP (e.g. ab7456) or protein G-HRP (e.g. ab7460) can be used to not detect the heavy and light chain of endogenous IgG in WB.


The links to the datasheets for protein A (HRP) and protein G (HRP) - which would both work well with a rabbit primary antibody are here:
