Description

Protein-L Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 365 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 40.5 kDa but it migrates with an apparent molecular mass of 45 kDa in SDS-PAGE.
The Protein-L is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Product Specs

Introduction
Recombinant Protein L, a genetically engineered protein, possesses five IgG-binding regions. It uniquely binds through kappa light chain interactions without hindering the antibody's antigen-binding site. The removal of cell wall binding, cell membrane binding, and albumin binding regions guarantees maximum specific IgG binding. This makes recombinant Protein L ideal for purifying polyclonal or monoclonal IgG antibodies from various species, including human, mouse, rat, and pig.
Description
Produced in E. coli, recombinant Protein-L is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain comprising 365 amino acids. It has a molecular mass of 40.5 kDa but exhibits an apparent molecular mass of 45 kDa in SDS-PAGE analysis.
Protein-L is purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized powder.
Formulation
Protein-L is lyophilized without any additives.
Solubility
For reconstitution, dissolve the lyophilized Protein-L in sterile water or saline at a concentration of at least 100 µg/ml. This solution can be further diluted in other aqueous solutions as needed.
Stability
While lyophilized Protein-L remains stable at room temperature for up to 3 weeks, it is recommended to store it desiccated below -18°C. After reconstitution, Protein-L should be stored at 4°C for 2-7 days. For long-term storage, freeze below -18°C, ideally with a carrier protein like 0.1% HSA or BSA.
Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity

The purity is determined to be greater than 97.0% using the following methods:
(a) SEC-HPLC analysis.
(b) SDS-PAGE analysis.

Product Science Overview

Recombinant Production

Recombinant Protein L is produced using Escherichia coli expression systems . The recombinant form is genetically engineered to remove regions that bind to cell walls, cell membranes, and albumin, enhancing its specificity for immunoglobulins . This recombinant production ensures a high yield and purity of Protein L, making it suitable for various research and biotechnological applications.

Applications

Protein L is widely used in the purification of monoclonal antibodies, especially those with kappa light chains . Its ability to bind to a wide range of immunoglobulin classes makes it a valuable tool in antibody purification processes. Additionally, Protein L is used in flow cytometry and other immunoassays to detect and quantify kappa light chain-containing immunoglobulins .

Advantages
  1. Broad Specificity: Protein L can bind to multiple immunoglobulin classes and subclasses, including Fab fragments and scFvs .
  2. High Affinity: It has a high affinity for kappa light chains, making it effective in antibody purification .
  3. Recombinant Production: The recombinant form ensures high purity and yield, reducing the risk of contamination .
