Technical datasheet
Description
Human C9 is a soluble glycoprotein of 61 kD. It is the last component in the assembly of the membrane attack complex (MAC). When the complement is activated on target membranes, multiple copies of C9 bind to the C5b-8 complex and assemble the barrel-shaped pore which causes cell lysis. The conformation of C9 changes from globular to a tubular form. The binding of C9 to C5b-8 plays a key role in the function of C9.
Formulation
1 ml (100 µg/ml) 0.2 µm filtered antibody solution in PBS, containing 0.1% bovine serum albumin.
Species
Mouse IgG1
Application
The antibody can be used for immuno assays, flow cytometry and Western blotting. Furthermore the antibody is useful for immunohistology on frozen and paraffin sections and inhibition of C9 binding to C5b-8.
Use
For immunohistology, flow cytometry and Western blotting dilutions to be used depend on detection system applied. It is recommended that users test the reagent and determine their own optimal dilutions. The typical starting working dilution is 1:10.
Storage and stability
Product should be stored at 4°C. Under recommended storage conditions, product is stable for one year.
