BackgroundThe unique, high quality recombinant red fluorescence Protein (RFP)-rProtein A are produced in E. coli, and purified using multiple chromatographic steps (not affinity purified with human IgG). RFP-rProtein A bind to most mammalian immunoglobulins in their Fc binding domains and therefore are ideal for immunofluorescence staining. The genetically engineered protein was expressed and purified from transformed E. coli containing only the IgG binding regions and have 6X His-tag on their N-terminus. Other domains such as cell wall binding region, albumin binding region and other non-specific binding regions have been eliminated from all these proteins to ensure the maximum specific IgG binding and maximal fluorescence.
