C3d is a component of complement. Cell-bound C3b may undergo limited proteolysis to release the fragment C3c and retain C3d on the membrane.
Applications:
Suitable for use in ELISA, Immunoelectrophoresis and Single and Double Radial Immunodiffusion (Ouchterlony). Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Immunoelectrophoresis: 120ul against 2ul human plasma or equivalent
Double Radial Immunodiffusion: Use a rosette arrangement with 10ul in 3mm diameter center well and 2ul plasma samples (neat and serially diluted) in 2mm diameter peripheral wells.
Single Radial Immunodiffusion: use 1% antiserum in the gel
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
