Product Summary for Protein A ELISA Kit

This Protein A ELISA is intended for detection of natural and recombinant Protein A in Bioprocess manufacturing applications. There are occasions where Protein A or its fragments leach from a purification column and remain bound to the Fc region of a therapeutic antibody. This must be avoided in order to preclude any adverse effects of Protein A on the patient, particularly in instances where antibodies are manufactured for pharmaceutical uses. This ELISA can be utilized as a Protein A ligand leaching quality control step in the mAb development workflow.

Precision

Intra-Assay Precision (Precision within an assay) Three samples of known concentration were tested twenty times on one plate to assess intra-assay precision.

Inter-Assay Precision (Precision between assays) Three samples of known concentration were tested in twenty separate assays to assess inter-assay precision. Assays were performed by at least three technicians using two lots of components.

Linearity

To assess the linearity of the assay, biosimilar therapeutic antibody samples spiked with high concentrations of Protein A were serially diluted with calibrator diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay.

Background: Protein A

Protein A is a Staphylococcus aureus cell wall constituent that is characterized by its binding affinity to the Fc portion of some immunoglobulins, especially those of the IgG class. Because of this property, it is often utilized for microscopic visualization of molecules and to purify antisera. Protein A has also been used for the treatment of proteinuria in nephrotic syndrome, and severe autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, coeliac disease, and systemic lupus erythematosis.
