Complement C3 Antibody (11H9)

Flow (Intracellular): Complement C3 Antibody (11H9) [NB200-540] - An intracellular stain was performed on RAW 246.7 cells with Complement C3 (11H9-3-2) antibody NB200-540 (blue) and a matched isotype control NBP2-31382 (orange). Cells were either treated with 3uM Monensin for 3 hours to block the secretion of Complement C3 (B) or grown in normal media (A). Cells were fixed with 4% PFA and then permeablized with 0.1% saponin. Cells were incubated in an antibody dilution of 2 ug/mL for 30 minutes at room temperature, followed by mouse F(ab)2 IgG (H+L) PE-conjugated secondary antibody (F0102B, R&D Systems).

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: Complement C3 Antibody (11H9) [NB200-540] - C3 protein fragments deposited on kidney cells of MPL-lpr mouse. Staining with antibody 11H9. Glomerular staining pattern. Fixation in 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS pH 7.4. Vibratome sections of 4 um. Pretreated with 3% hydrogen peroxide for 20 min to quench endogenous peroxidases. Microwaved in antigen unmasking solution for 2-5 minutes as antigen retrieval.

Immunohistochemistry-Paraffin: Complement C3 Antibody (11H9) [NB200-540] - Complement C3 protein in a FFPE tissue section of mouse liver using 1:100 dilution of Complement C3 antibody (clone 11H9) NB200-540. Weak but distinct membrane-cytoplasmic immunopositivity was observed in hepatocytes and few cells developed punctate membrane staining.

Flow Cytometry: Complement C3 Antibody (11H9) [NB200-540] - Left panel: FMO, Middle panel: No primary antibody control, Right panel: sample. Day 6 murine mammary tumors processed and stained for analysis with flow cytometry. The C3b+ population of CD45+ cells is what the gate in each sample is exhibiting.

Immunohistochemistry-Paraffin: Complement C3 Antibody (11H9) [NB200-540] - Complement C3 protein in a FFPE tissue section of mouse lymph node using 1:100 dilution of Complement C3 antibody (clone 11H9) NB200-540. This representative photomicrograph shows a membrane-cytoplasmic immunopositivity in non-germinal center cells, and few cells developed an intense staining for this target protein.

Background

Complement component 3, or C3, is one of nine major complement proteins in the complement system. This system is vital to the immune system because of its role in killing unwanted bacteria and its part in the initiation of inflammation. The complement system is made up of a collection of proteins found in the bloodstream. C3 happens to be the most important protein as well as the most plentiful among the other proteins in the complement system. Levels of C3 in the blood are often tested in patients with autoimmune disorders to monitor the effects of their treatment. A C3 deficiency can cause increased risk for bacterial infection.

FAQs for Complement C3 Antibody (NB200-540). (Showing 1 - 1 of 1 FAQs).

1. I am trying to establish a method to measure mice C3 levels by nephelometry. I would be most grateful if you could provide me with some help, regarding the choice of the Ab. I totally understand that since such a method has never been tried, I do not expect any guaranties. 
   • We have never performed nephelometry in our lab, and do not have a protocol or advice to provide about this application. However, it seems to me that you should choose an antibody that is capable of recognizing its target in its folded conformation. Therefore, I would suggest trying an antibody that has been validated for ICC or IHC.
