Reconstitute the lyophilized antiserum by adding 1 mL sterile distilled water.
The antiSerum does not cross react with any other component of Human plasma. Inter-species crossreactivity is a normal feature of antibodies to plasma proteins since they frequently share antigenic determinants. Cross-reactivity of this antiSerum has not been tested in detail.
In immunoelectrophoresis use 2 µL or equivalent against 120 µL antiserum. In double radial immunodiffusion (Ouchterlony) use a rosette arrangement with 10 µL in a 3 mm diameter center well and 2 µL serum samples (neat and serially diluted) in 2 mm diameter peripheral wells.
Dilutions may be prepared by adding phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2). Repeated thawing and freezing should be avoided. If a slight precipitation occurs upon storage, this should be removed by centrifugation. It will not affect the performance of the antiserum. Diluted antiserum should be stored at 4°C, not refrozen, and preferably used the same day.
C5 (Complement C5) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with C5 include Complement Component 5 Deficiency and Eculizumab, Poor Response To. Among its related pathways are GPCR downstream signalling and Acquired partial lipodystrophy / Barraquer-Simons syndrome. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include signaling receptor binding and endopeptidase inhibitor activity. An important paralog of this gene is C3. This gene encodes a component of the complement system, a part of the innate immune system that plays an important role in inflammation, host homeostasis, and host defense against pathogens. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate multiple protein products, including the C5 alpha chain, C5 beta chain, C5a anaphylatoxin and C5b. The C5 protein is comprised of the C5 alpha and beta chains, which are linked by a disulfide bridge. Cleavage of the alpha chain by a convertase enzyme results in the formation of the C5a anaphylatoxin, which possesses potent spasmogenic and chemotactic activity, and the C5b macromolecular cleavage product, a subunit of the membrane attack complex (MAC). Mutations in this gene cause complement component 5 deficiency, a disease characterized by recurrent bacterial infections. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
