Anti-Complement C3 [6C9] Antibody
This mouse IgG1 antibody was generated against human C3 and recognizes mouse and human homologs of C3 and its breakdown products C3b and iC3b.
The complement system consists of a number of small proteins found in the blood, generally synthesized by the liver, and normally circulating as inactive precursors (pro-proteins). When stimulated by one of several triggers, proteases in the system cleave specific proteins to release cytokines and initiate an amplifying cascade of further cleavages. The end-result of this activation cascade is massive amplification of the response and activation of the cell-killing membrane attack complex.
Complement component 3 (C3) plays a central role in the activation of the complement system. C3 cleavage by C3-convertase produces C3b and iC3b. C3b leads to an inflamatory response and also covalently binds to microbial cell surfaces aiding in opsonization of the microbe.
