IdeZ Protease (IgG-specific)
NEBU cloned at NEB recombinant 37 65 Heat

Product Introduction

IdeZ Protease (IgG-specific) is a recombinant antibody specific protease that recognizes all human, sheep, monkey, and rabbit IgG subclasses, cleaving specifically at a single recognition site below the hinge region, to yield a homogenous pool of F(ab´)2 and Fc fragments. IdeZ Protease more effectively cleaves murine IgG2a than IdeS.

  • Complete fragmentation of antibodies and immunoglobulin fusion proteins in 30 minutes under native conditions
  • Supplied in solution; optimal activity and stability for up to 24 months
  • Combine with PNGase F for complete fragmentation and deglycosylation
  • Recombinant enzyme with no detectable non-specific protease contaminating activities
  • Glycerol-free for optimal performance in HPLC and mass spectrometry analysis
  • ≥95% purity, as determined by SDS-PAGE and intact ESI-MS

Properties & Usage

Unit Definition

One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to cleave > 95% of 1 µg of human IgG, in 15 minutes at 37°C in a total reaction volume of 10 µl.

Reaction Conditions

1X GlycoBuffer 2
Incubate at 37°C

1X GlycoBuffer 2
50 mM Sodium Phosphate
(pH 7.5 @ 25°C)

Storage Buffer

20 mM Tris-HCl
50 mM NaCl
1 mM EDTA
pH 7.5 @ 25°C

Unit Assay Conditions

Two fold dilutions of IdeZ Protease (IgG-specific) are incubated with 1 μg of human IgG and 1X GlycoBuffer 2 in a 10 µl reaction. The reaction mix is incubated for 15 minutes at 37°C. Separation of reaction products are visualized by SDS-PAGE.

Storage Notes

  • Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Product Notes

  1. Store at -20°C for up to two years.
  2. IdeZ Protease efficiently cleaves human, humanized, chimeric, sheep,rabbit and monkey IgG as well as mouse IgG2a and IgG3. IdeZ Proteasewill also cleave Fc-fusion proteins, such as Enbrel.
  3. IdeZ Protease does not cleave mouse IgG1 or IgG2b, rat, porcine, bovineor goat IgG. It also does not cleave non-IgG isotypes including IgA,IgM, IgD and IgE.
