Complement C4d antibody

Catalog No. ABIN206675

Product Details anti-Complement C4d Antibody

Target: Complement C4d (C4d) (Complement Component C4d (C4d))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This Complement C4d antibody is un-conjugated

Application: ELISA, Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunohistochemistry (Frozen Sections) (IHC (fro)), Flow Cytometry (FACS)

Specificity: Recognizes a neoantigen on the secreted protein complement component 4d (C4d). The complement 1 complex cleaves complement 4 (C4) to form C4b and C4a. C4b levels are strictly regulated. Single site cleavage of the C4b's alpha chain by Factor I forms iC4b and blocks C3 convertase, inhibiting opsonization and activation of the classical pathway. This requires C4 binding protein or CR1 as a cofactor. iC4b is further degraded into C4d and C4c. The short half life of C4d means that it is present in serum at high enough concentrations to make it a useful marker for classical complement activation. C4 has been linked to susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus.
