FabULOUS™ Fab Kit

Lyophilized enzyme and affinity resin for hinge-region digestion of murine IgG and purification of fragments

Available Products

  • Purification

FabULOUS (SpeB) is a cysteine protease that digests in the hinge region of IgG from several different species and subclasses, generating Fab and Fc fragments.

FabULOUS Fab Kit contains one vial of FabULOUS enzyme with 2000 units for digestion of 2 mg murine IgG, and 4 CaptureSelect™ LC-Kappa (mur)* microspin columns for affinity purification of fragments.

The affinity matrix recognizes the LC-Kappa domain of murine IgG antibodies, which enables purification of Fab fragments. Each microspin column contains sufficient material to purify 0.5 mg IgG.

Why FabULOUS™ Fab Kit?

  • Purification of Fab fragments from murine IgG
  • Fast – pure fragments in under two hours
  • Reliable workflow for preparative applications

    Product Information

    Unit Defintion

    One unit digests ≥ 95% of 1 µg of human IgG1 in PBS pH 7.4 with 5 mM DTT or TCEP at 37˚C for 1 hour. This is also valid for 1 µg of mouse IgG1 in PBS with 30-50 mM L-cysteine as reducing agent.

    Content and Storage

    FabULOUS Fab Kit is shipped cold.The FabULOUS Lyophilized vials should be stored at -20°C upon arrival.

    The microspin columns containing CaptureSelect™* LC-Kappa (mur) resin should be stored at +4-8°C. Do not freeze the spin columns!

    After reconstitution, the FabULOUS enzyme is stable for 1 month at +4-8°C.

    FAQ and Support

    FabULOUS is a cysteine protease that digests IgG in the hinge region. A primary digestion site for human IgG1 is above the hinge (…KTHT / CPPCP…). The enzyme is also active on human IgG2 and IgG3, digestion site not determined but Fab and Fc is generated. FabULOUS digests human IgG4 primarily at a site below the hinge using significantly longer incubation, generating Fab’ due to the reducing conditions. The possibility of other, secondary digestions sites is antibody dependent

    Yes, FabULOUS requires reduced condition for activity and reaction is performed in the presence of 1-5 mM DTT or TCEP at neutral pH.

    No, FabULOUS Fab kit contains CaptureSelect LC-kappa (mur) spin columns with selective affinity for murine LC-kappa. If you need to generate pure Fab from human IgG1 you can use either FabALACTICA Fab Kit or GingisKHAN Fab Kit. If you have a different subclass of human IgG, please contact support@genovis.com for guidance.

    Yes. GingisKHAN is provided lyophilized. After reconstitution, the enzyme can be used for up to 4 different antibodies. The digestion is performed in solution and you can prepare Fab fragments from 4 x 0.5 mg human IgG1. The purification step is done with Capture Select columns and 4 columns are provided in the kit.

    Yes, but a longer incubation time is needed.
