Related Product Information for anti-C3/C3b/iC3b antibody
The Purified Anti-Human/Mouse Complement Component C3 monoclonal antibody (Clone: 6C9) reacts with human and mouse C3 as well as the breakdown products C3b and iC3b. C3 is the most abundant complement protein in serum. C3 and its cleavage products, C3a and C3b, play a central role in the complement activation cascade. C3b forms an integral part of the C3 and C5 convertases as it promotes complement activation and the subsequent formation of the membrane attack complex. C3a possesses anaphlatoxic as well as various immunoregulatory properties.
Also, C3 has been implicated in developmental and non-imflammatory process such as hematopoiesis, skeletal and vascular development and reproduction.

Product Notes
The C3/C3b/iC3b (Catalog #
AAA520889) is an Antibody produced from Mouse and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Anti-Human/Mouse C3/C3b/iC3b, (Purified) (Clone: 6C9) (Mouse IgG1) reacts with Mouse, Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's C3/C3b/iC3b can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Flow Cytometry (FC/FACS), ELISA(EIA). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the C3/C3b/iC3b for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process.
It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of
"C3/C3b/iC3b, Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of
the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always
suggest centrifuging these vials
to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to
opening. Please be advised that
certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an
additional dry ice fee may also be
required.
