Pierce™ Immobilised Ficin consists of a sulfhydryl-specific protease (ficin) that has been immobilised onto beaded agarose resin to enable controlled antibody fragmentation, especially of mouse IgG1.

• Easily controlled reaction
• Antibody fragments are free of autodigestion products
• Eliminates ficin contamination into antibody fragments

Immobilised Ficin was specifically designed for cleavage of mouse IgG1 into or Fab or F(ab')2 fragments, and is advantageous because it virtually eliminates autolysis, eliminates contamination of a sample with the protease and allows control of the digestion by removing the ficin or controlling the flow of sample over an immobilised ficin column.
