General description

Recombinant Protein G covalently bound to agarose by cyanogen bromide linkage. Sonicated salmon sperm DNA blocks non-specific DNA binding sites on protein G agarose when collecting immunocomplexes for chromatin immunoprecipitations (ChIP assays).

Recombinant protein G has a very high affinity for the Fc regions of IgG molecules. Immoblisation of protein G on beads creates an affinity resin which can be used to purify IgG fractions from crude serum, ascites fluid or cell cuture media.
