Human TROP-2-coupled Magnetic Beads

TROP-2 is a single-copy gene in human cells, and encodes a type-1 transmembrane glycoprotein which is over-expressed in various malignancies, also referred to as tumor associated calcium signal transducer 2 (TACSTD2), GA733-1 or M1S1. TROP-2 is related to epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM), also called TROP-1, gp40, and KSA. Trop-1 and Trop-2 are homologous to serum IGF-II-binding proteins and appear as signal transducers. Thus, they likely represent novel cell-surface receptors and may play a role in regulating the growth of carcinoma cells.

Upon receipt, please store the beads at -20°C for 1 year in lyophilized state. Please avoid more than 3 freeze-thaw cycles once reconstitution, immediate use after reconstitution is highly recommended.

Antibody Purification: 1. Resuspend the lyophilized beads by adding the buffer of choice. 2. Add analyte to the suspension, mix and incubate to enable specific binding of the beads and the target protein. 3. Magnetize beads, remove supernatant, and wash unbound protein fractions to capture target protein-bound beads. 4. Wash, magnetize the beads and collect purified target protein for use in downstream applications.
