C3 antibody (Biotin)

Catalog No. ABIN783945

Product Details anti-C3 Antibody (Biotin)

Target: C3 (Complement Component 3 (C3))

Reactivity: Monkey

Host: Goat

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This C3 antibody is conjugated to Biotin

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Immunoprecipitation (IP), Immunohistochemistry (Frozen Sections) (IHC (fro)), Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA), Immunofluorescence (IF), Immunodiffusion (ID)

Specificity: In Immunoelectrophoresis against fresh Monkey serum, a single precipitin line is obtained in the beta-1 region representing native C3. Against serum containing partly activated C3, a precipitin line is obtained which extends from the beta-1 into the alpha-2 region, demonstrating a gradient. In old serum containing totally activated C3 a single precipitin line in the alpha-2 region is obtained. Antisera to C3c cab also react with the fragments C3b, C3bi and smaller fragments, since they all carry antigenic determinants of the C3c domain. The product does not react with any other protein components of Monkey serum or plasma. Cross-reactivity: The antiserum does not cross-react with any other component of monkey plasma. Inter-species cross-reactivity is a normal feature of antibodies to plasma proteins since they frequently share antigenic determinants. In addition to a clear reactivity with C3c of other old-world monkeys (Cercopithecus, Cynomolgus and Baboon), this antiserum shows also a fair amount of cross-reactivity to C3C of other species, including chimpanzee and man.

Characteristics: Molar Ratio: Biotin/IgG ~4.9

Purification: The IgG fraction is isolated and purified from the antiserum and contains the bulk of the defined antibody specificity. It is free of other serum proteins as tested by immunoelectrophoresis and double radial immunodiffusion.

Immunogen: C3c isolated and purified from pooled normal Rhesus Monkey serum. Freund’s complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.

Isotype: IgG

Background: C3 is the most abundant complement protein in rat serum. Its biological function strongly resembles that of C3 in man and other laboratory animal species. It has a central role in the activation system being common to both pathways. Activation of C3 is achieved by very specific limited proteolysis resulting in the release of a number of degradation fragments. The anaphylotoxin C3a promotes smooth muscle contraction and increases vascular permeability: the large C3b fragment is involved in binding to the complement activator and can be interact with specific receptors to allow efficient clearance of the activating cell or particle, degradation fragments of C3b (C3bi, C3c, C3dg C3d) are important in receptor binding and clearance mechanisms, in virus neutralization and possibly in the immune response.Synonyms: CPAMD1, Complement component 3
