Product Description

Human Complement C5 is a glycoprotein that plays a significant role in the immune system's complement cascade. It belongs to the family of complement components, specifically the C5 component. With a molecular weight of approximately 190 kDa, it acts as a precursor to C5a and C5b fragments upon activation. C5 is involved in the opsonization of pathogens, recruitment of immune cells, and initiation of the membrane attack complex. Understanding the structure and function of Human Complement C5 is crucial for unraveling the intricacies of the immune response and developing therapeutic interventions.

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
