Clone Host Grade Applications Monoclonal Mouse Affinity Purified E B

C5 is part of the membrane attack complex (MAC) of the complement system. C5 is split into C5a og C5b by the C5 convertases from the classical and the alternative complement pathway and the C5b fragment initiates the assembly of the terminal MAC (C5b-C9) (1). The molecular mass of C5 is 190kD.
Catalog #	C7850-23B
Applications	Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution	ELISA: 1:8000
	Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability	May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and add glycerol (40-50%). Freeze at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
CAS Number	n/a
Clone Type	Monoclonal
Isotype	IgG1,k
Clone No	11F6
Host	Mouse
Source	Human
Concentration	~1mg/ml
Form	Supplied as a liquid in PBS, pH 7.2, 15mM sodium azide.
Purity	Purified by Protein A/G affinity chromatography from culture supernatant.
Immunogen	C5 isolated from human plasma.
Specificity	Specific for human C5. No reaction is seen with plasma from patients deficient in C5.
Epitope specificity differs from that of clone 6F72 but overlaps slightly as determined by inhibition ELISA.
Reacts strongly with C5. Strong reaction is seen with normal human plasma, and no reaction is seen with plasma from patients deficient in C5, when tested in sandwich ELISA in combination with a polyclonal antibody against C5. In Western blotting after SDS-PAGE this antibody reacts with C5 in normal human plasma (PEG precipitated C5) in nonreduced form only. No reaction is seen with plasma from C5 deficient patients.
