产品介绍 |
General Description C3/C5-Depleted Serum is normal human serum in which C3 and C5 have been removed?by immunoaffinity chromatography. The product is tested for the absence of C3 and C5 activity?by testing classical and alternative pathway function and for the absence of C3 and C5 proteinsby double immunodiffusion. The C3/C5-depleted serum is certified to exhibit less than 5%?classical pathway and alternative pathway activities. Functional classical and alternative?pathways can be reconstituted by addition of purified C3 protein (1.3 mg/mL) and C5 protein (75?ug/mL) indicating that all other complement components necessary for classical and alternative?pathway activation are present. After reconstitution with C3 (1.3 mg C3/mL) and C5 (0.75?mg/mL), the C3/C5-Depleted Serum is certified to possess a functional classical and alternative?pathway for complement activation (Morgan, B.P. (2000); Dodds, A.W. and Sim, R.B. (1997)).?Although a functional lectin pathway should also be reconstituted by the addition of similar?concentrations of C3 and C5, the function of this pathway is not tested. Physical Characteristics & Structure C3/C5-Depleted Serum is supplied as a clear, straw-colored liquid containing all proteins?of normal human serum except C3 and C5.? Function C3/C5-Depleted Serum is tested for classical pathway activity by hemolytic assays using?antibody-sensitized sheep erythrocytes and for alternative pathway function?using rabbit erythrocytes. The depleted serum is reconstituted with 1.3?mg/mL C3?and 75 μg/mL C5 and retested to verify?that functional classical and alternative pathways are restored. The Certificate of Analysis?provided with each lot gives a description of the assays and specific titers for the depleted and?reconstituted sera compared to normal human serum.? Assays The unit of classical pathway activity is the CH50 and for the alternative pathway it is the?AP50. A CH50 unit is the amount of complement needed to lyse 50% of 1 x 10? EA cells? (antibody-sensitized sheep erythrocytes?when that amount of serum is?incubated with the EA in GVB?? in a total volume of 1.5 mL for 60 min at?37℃. See the Certificate of Analysis for lot specific values. An AP50 is defined as the amount of?complement yielding 50% lysis of 1.5 x 10? rabbit erythrocytes when?incubated for 30 min at 37℃?in a total reaction volume of 100 μL of GVB° containing a final?MgEGTA concentration of 5 mM. Lectin pathway activity of C3/C5-Depleted Serum is not?tested, but it would be expected to be inactive due to the absence of C3 and C5.? Applications C3/C5-Depleted Serum is used as a source of serum with minimal ability to activate any?of the three pathways of complement. However, C1 can be activated as well as the lectin? pathway complexes of the lectins and MASPs. These complexes will then activate C2 that will?attach to C4 generating the convertase C4b,C2a which is able to activate C5 (Rawal, N. &?Pangburn, M.K. 2003) via a weak C3 by-pass mechanism. However, complement activation via?the C3 by-pass mechanism is impossible because the C3/C5-Dpl has no C5. Precautions/Toxicity/Hazards The source is human serum, therefore precautions appropriate for handling any bloodderived product must be used even though the source was shown by certified tests to be negative?for HBsAg and for antibodies to HCV, HIV-1 and HIV-II.Hazard Code: B WGK Germany 3MSDS is available upon request.? |
