Product Description

Human Complement Component C1q is a glycoprotein that plays a significant role in the activation of the classical complement pathway, a crucial part of the innate immune response. Belonging to the C1q family, this protein is composed of six subunits, each consisting of three polypeptide chains. With a molecular weight of approximately 460 kDa, Human Complement Component C1q binds to immune complexes, initiating the complement cascade and facilitating the clearance of pathogens and damaged cells. Its structural and functional attributes make it an indispensable component of the immune system's defense mechanism.

If your product is within its expiration period, and has not performed according to expectations, fill out the sample return form. Return the unused sample frozen, with the auto generated packing slip to the address on the instructions. You will receive a full refund along with a replacement of the unused portion (inclusive of the failed test). Damages do not cover any additional costs incurred for failed experimentation. 

Reconstituted store at -20°C or -80°C.We recommend that single use aliquots are prepared to avoid freeze-thaw cycles.

1. Thaw the vial on ice, spin briefly
2. Prepare single-use or stock aliquots. This stage will depend on your final application so please adapt as appropriate. All our proteins are supplied carrier protein-free. If compatible with your work and you are storing at lower concentrations (<50 ug/ml) adding carrier protein is highly advised (usually 1% w/v high purity BSA or equivalent – ensure all buffers are sterile-filtered).
3. Prepare single-use aliquots whenever possible to avoid freeze-thaw cycles which can damage the proteins and reduce bioactivity. Store aliquots at -70 °C (or -20 °C)
4. We recommend sterile filtering after dilution in media or the final working solution
