Protein A and protein G are recombinant proteins that bind with high affinity to the Fc portion of several classes and subclasses of immunoglobulin (IgG´s) from a variety of species. Specific antigens are bound in a second step reversible towards the bound IgG. A following washing step and elution by pH shift generates the purified target protein under native conditions. MagSi protein A and G beads can be regenerated and reused several times (up to 10 times), incl large volume scales.

The advantage of protein G and A beads, compared to streptavidin beads, is that the antibody does not need to be biotinylated and the binding is reversible. So they are ideal for protein isolation and proteomics applications. Furtheron the superior surface chemistry is blocking unspecific binding of residual proteins and further biomolecules. Therefore your target protein can be purified in a single purification step.

MagnaMedics’CSO Paul Borm was member of the scientific committee of the EuroNanoMedicine meeting in Bled (Slovenia), which took place end of September.

This meeting merged the participants of 3 current large European consortia on this area, being NanoEar, MediTrans and NanoBioPharmaceutics.  The meeting brought together more then 250 scientists and producers of nanoproducts in imaging, drug targeting and  therapy. Keynote speakers included Chrit Moonen (Bordeaux), Marie-Jose Alonso (Santiago de Compostella), Alex Florence (London) and many other given resumees on issues as medical imaging, vaccine delivery and future perspectives. MagnaMedics presented its current activities in MRI imaging (MagnaFy) and results of our work in drug delivery.
