| Product Name | Anti-Human C1q Polyclonal Antibody |
|---|---|
| Description | The reactivity of the antiserum is restricted to C1q. In immunoelectrophoresis and radial immunodiffusion (Ouchterlony), using various antiserum concentrations against fresh normal human plasma a single precipitin line is obtained which shows a reaction of identity with the precipitin line obtained with purified C1q protein. Complexes containing C1q may also react with the antiserum. No reaction is obtained with C1r, C1s or any other plasma protein component or serum. In precipitating techniques as immunoelectrophoresis and single or double radial immunodiffusion to identify the presence of C1q or C1q containing complexes in human plasma or other body fluids or to determine its concentration. The presence of non precipitating antibodies has not been assayed. This does not exclude the use of the antiserum in more sensitive non-precipitating antibody-binding techniques if proper controls are included. |

| Immunogen | C1 component of human complement is a complex of three glycoproteins: C1q, C1r and C1s. C1q has a molecular weight of 492.000 and is present in plasma in an average concentration of 80 _g/ml. It consists of a complex of 18 polypeptide chains of three different types, A, B and C; 6 of each type. The subcomponent C1q is responsible for the binding of C1q to immuno-complexes an membranes via the Fc portion of the immunoglobulin. The subunit C1q is isolated as a homogenous protein for use in antiserum production. FreundÍs complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure. |
| Reactivity | Human |
| Applications | IP |
| Storage | 2-8C for immediate use, or at -2°C (aliquot). Avoid repeated freezing and thawing |
