Recommended Dilution The Fluorescent immunoconjugate can be used to determine the presence and pattern of C3 in tissue lesions using immunohistochemical staining techniques. 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 labelled antibody must be avoided because it may cause high unspecific background staining and interfere with the specific signal.
Working dilutions: 1/10-1/40.
Reactivities Monkey
Host Goat
Isotype IgG
Clonality Polyclonal
Immunogen C3c isolated and purified from pooled normal Rhesus Monkey serum.
Freund’s complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.
Specificity In Immunoelectrophoresis against fresh Monkey 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 cab 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 Monkey serum or plasma.
Cross-reactivity: The antiserum does not cross-react with any other component of monkey plasma. Inter-species cross-reactivity is a normal feature of antibodies to plasma proteins since they frequently share antigenic determinants. In addition to a clear reactivity with C3c of other old-world monkeys (Cercopithecus, Cynomolgus and Baboon), this antiserum shows also a fair amount of cross-reactivity to C3C of other species, including Chimpanzee and Man.

Conjugation FITC
Gene Name Rattus norvegicus complement C3 (C3)
Background C3 is the most abundant complement protein in rat serum. Its biological function strongly resembles that of C3 in man and other laboratory animal species. It has a central role in the activation system being common to both pathways.
Activation of C3 is achieved by very specific limited proteolysis resulting in the release of a number of degradation fragments. The anaphylotoxin C3a promotes smooth muscle contraction and increases vascular permeability: the large C3b fragment is involved in binding to the complement activator and can be interact with specific receptors to allow efficient clearance of the activating cell or particle; degradation fragments of C3b (C3bi, C3c, C3dg C3d) are important in receptor binding and clearance mechanisms, in virus neutralization and possibly in the immune response.
Synonyms CPAMD1, Complement component 3
Note Adsorption: Immunoaffinity adsorbed using insolubilized antigens as required, to eliminate antibodies cross-reacting with other with other plasma proteins. The use of insolubilized adsorption antigens prevents the presence of excess adsorbent protein or immune complexes in the antiserum.
