Soluble Terminal Complement Complex (sC5b-9) antibody

Catalog No. ABIN472099

Product Details

Target: Soluble Terminal Complement Complex (sC5b-9)

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: Un-conjugated

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

Specificity: Recognizes the SC5b-9 complex of around 330 kD. Both the classical and alternative complement pathways result in the formation of the cytolysis inducing C5b-9 complex. This complex is composed of 190 kD C5b which is bound to cells via 71 kD C9. Sublytic assembly of C5b-9 on plasma membranes induces cell cycle activation and survival. The binding of C5b-9 to the 75 kD S-protein (or vitronectin) in the fluid phase prevents C5b-9 from assembling on the plasma membrane, deactivating it and forming the SC5b-9 complex. SC5b-9 is stable in vitro and is therefore a reliable indicator of terminal complement pathway activation. Removal of Sodium Azide is recommended prior to use in functional assays. Reported to work in western blotting applications.
