Usage
In immunoelectrophoresis against fresh mouse 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 can 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 mouse serum or plasma. As unlabelled primary or secondary antibody reagent for the indirect detection of C3c in mouse cells, tissues and body fluids in immunofluorescence and immunoenzyme methods. for the production of immunoconjugates with a selected marker. to prepare insoluble immunoaffinity adsorbents by coupling to an artificial carrier. as catching or detection reagent in non-isotopic methodology and solid phase immunochemistry (e. g. ELISA). Locally deposited immune complexes in tissue usually contain complement, pointing to activation of the classical pathway. Complement activation in vivo implies active disease and may contribute to the elicitation of the pathogenesis and he extent of tissue destruction. Sometimes the diagnosis can be based on directly on laboratory findings. This immunoconjugate is not pre-diluted. The optimum working dilution of each conjugate should be established by titration before being used. Excess labeled antibody must be avoided because it may cause high unspecific background staining and interfere with the specific signal. Typical working dilutions in histochemistry are usually between 1:50 and 1:250. in ELISA and comparable non-precipitating antibody-binding assays between 1:500 and 1:2000.
