C3 is a key component of the complement system since classical and alternative activation pathways merge at the C3 activation step when C3 is split into C3a and C3b. The molecular mass of C3 is 185 kDa and it consists of two chains (110 kDa and 75 kDa) held together by disulfide bonds (1,2).
C3 isolated from human plasma adsorbed onto aluminum hydroxide gel
HYB 005-01 is specific for human C3
Epitope specificity differs from that of HYB 030-08 and HAV 003-05 but slightly overlap as determined by inhibition ELISA.
HYB 005-01 reacts strongly with C3. A strong reaction is seen in ELISA with C3 directly coated onto the microtiter well, and also when tested in sandwich ELISA in combination with a polyclonal antibody against C3 (e.g. DAKO A 0062).
In Western blotting after SDS-PAGE, HYB 005-01 reacts with C3 in reduced as well as non-reduced forms.
