Hi Preeti,

I would say that you have different oligomers in your resin after the whole 
process. 72 kDa would be a heterodimer (L+H), whereas 95 would be a homodimer 
(H+H).

Best wishes

Assunto: [ccp4bb] Unusual SDS-PAGE pattern from IgG beads


Hi everyone,

I have an off-topic doubt.

I’m using Sepharose IgG beads to purify a protein with a Protein A tag. 
However, when I load fresh beads (without any protein) after incubating them 
with 0.01% SDS or heating them at 95 °C in the presence of SDS, I observe a 
strange band pattern on the SDS-PAGE

  *   With only 0.01% SDS: I see two consecutive bands between 72 and 95 kDa of 
same intensity

  *   With heating: I see the same two bands (same intensity as above), plus 
two strong bands at ~55 kDa and ~25 kDa .

The 55 kDa and 25 kDa bands are clearly the heavy and light chains, but I can’t 
figure out what the upper bands are. I was wondering if anyone could help me 
understand this.

Best regards,

Preeti
