Complement C3 deficient serum human

Description

• General description: Complement C3 deficient serum is a normal human serum in which C3 protein is removed by affinity chromatography. Depleted serum helps in the complement cascade up to the preferred convertase level. It eases the formation of enzyme complex from purified components.[1]
• Application: Complement C3 deficient serum human has been used:as a component of the culture medium to study the influence of the inhibition of complement activation on complement receptors (CR3 and C3aR) expression in CD3+CD56+NKT-like cells [2]as a negative control to evaluate the downstream complement activation post-mannan-binding lectin (MBL) pathway activation[3]to study the opsonization of foreign particles by complement system[4]
• Physical form: Supplied as a solution in phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4
• Analysis Note: C3 is depleted by immunoadsorption as judged by a highly sensitive hemolytic assay.
