Rabbit Complement C3c

Goat

Rabbit (tested or 100% immunogen sequence identity)

Polyclonal

Unconjugated. Also available conjugated with FITC.

Antiserum

Unmodified

C3c purified from pooled normal rabbit serum. Freund's complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.

C3c subunit of Rabbit complement C3.

• Immunodiffusion

In immunoelectrophoresis against fresh rabbit 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 can 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 proteins component of rabbit serum or plasma. In precipitating techniques as immunoelectrophoresis and single and double radial immunodiffusion (Mancini, Ouchterlony) to identify the presence of complement C3c or to determine its concentration. The presence of non-precipitating antibodies has not been assayed. This does not exclude the use of the antiserum in non- precipitating antibody-binding techniques if proper controls are included. Determinations of individual complement components can be very useful in defining the exact location of a defect.
