Protein A affinity chromatography is widely used for antibody purification. However, the leakage of Protein A, though covalently conjugated to chromatography supports, posts a big problem for antibody based pharmaceutical industry. And it also probably causes false results in immunological assays if antibody product is contaminated with Protein A.
GenScript Protein A ELISA Kit is developed for accurate quantification of the leakage of native Protein A, recombinant Protein A variants and MabSelect SuRe™ in the presence or absence of IgG antibodies. The kit offers users in pharmaceutical industry a sensitive assay to measure mini amount of Protein A in therapeutic antibody products. It also facilitates Protein A resin manufacturers in monitoring leaching characteristics of the resins under specific conditions.
Key Features:
Accurate detection of 20 pg/ml Protein A and 50 pg/ml MabSelect SuRe™ in antibody preps.
Broad-range recognition of native Protein A, recombinant Protein A variants and MabSelect SuRe™
Ready-to-use ELISA plate with fast & simple samples preparation
Time-saving protocol - complete assay in less than 2 hours
Exceptional lot-to-lot consistency ensured by high-quality monoclonal antibodies
Wide applications for the quantification of Protein A contaminant and leaching
