Mouse Complement C5b-9 (soluble) ELISA Kit quantifies Complement C5b-9 in serum and plasma.
The Mouse Complement C5b-9 (soluble) solid-phase sandwich ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) is designed to measure the amount of the target bound between a matched antibody pair. A target-specific antibody has been pre-coated in the wells of the supplied microplate. Samples are then added into these wells and bind to the immobilized (capture) antibody. The sandwich is formed by the binding of the second (detector) antibody to the target on a different epitope from the capture antibody. An antibody conjugated with enzyme binds the formed sandwich. After incubation and washing steps to rid the microplate of unbound substances.
Rigorous validation:
Each manufactured lot of this ELISA kit is quality tested for criteria such as sensitivity, specificity, precision, and lot-to-lot consistency. See manual for more information on validation.

The complement system is a fundamental part of innate immunity, consisting of over 45 genes that encode various complement components, regulators, and receptors. The complement C5b-9 complex, also known as the Membrane Attack Complex (MAC), plays a crucial role in the immune defense mechanism. It includes the sequential assembly of proteins C5b, C6, C7, C8, and multiple copies of C9. This complex forms transmembrane channels that puncture the cell membrane of target cells, leading to cell lysis. Specifically, MAC has significant implications in mediating cell death in both pathogenic organisms and cancer cells. The genes involved are clustered across the human genome, mainly organized in three significant loci. The understanding of the C5b-9 complex's function extends beyond its antimicrobial roles to include its interactions with tumor cells, where it can induce cell death and influence cancer progression.
