Description
Catalogue Number16-663
Trade Name
  • Magna ChIP
DescriptionMagna ChIP™ Protein A+G Magnetic Beads
OverviewRecombinant protein A plus recombinant protein G covalently bound to magnetic beads. This magnetic A+G blend allows for the use of a wider range of antibodies than A or G alone and provides a rapid, reproducible and efficient reagent for collecting immunocomplexes for chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays as well as RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays. Compared with conventional agarose beads, magnetic beads significantly reduce handling times and mechanical stress on target immunocomplexes.
Alternate Names
  • ChIP magnetic beads
  • ChIP magnetic A/G beads
  • ChIP magnetic A+G beads
Background InformationChromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) has been widely adapted for the study of gene-specific and genome-wide distribution of specific DNA and RNA-binding proteins or protein modifications. Similar to standard protein immunoprecipitation assays, ChIP involves isolation of immunocomplexes using a solid medium, such as agarose or magnetic beads, coupled to either IgG binding recombinant protein A or protein G. Experiments comparing protein A vs. protein G vs. protein A/G magnetic bead blends revealed that a mixture of protein A and G beads worked well with a wide variety of antibody isotypes. The use of Protein A/G bead blends eliminated the need to consider which beads or kit to use in order match a particular antibody/bead binding affinity combination. In addition to simplifying the procedure, comparing the use of either protein A or protein G alone, protein A/G magnetic bead blends improved signal-to-noise ratios without decreasing the recovery of input chromatin in ChIP assays.
