Multiplex Assays of Fifteen Human Complement Factors
Multiplex Assays of Fifteen Human Complement Factors
18 Feb 2016The complement system consists of a large number of plasma proteins that assist, or complement, the ability of phagocytic cells and antibodies to clear pathogens. The complement system consists of three different simultaneous pathways and because of the potential to be extremely damaging to host tissues, complement system activation must be tightly controlled. This poster demonstrates a method to assess levels of multiple complement proteins simultaneously in patient serum or plasma to determine “complement profiles” of disease using Luminex xMAP® technology and two MILLIPLEX® MAP Complement panels

AntibodiesAntibodies are used in techniques such as confocal and fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, ELISA, ELISPOT, immunohistochemistry, western blotting and immunopreciptation. Select specific antigen reactivity, high specific affinity, low non-specific binding, monoclonal or polyclonal, primary or secondary antibodies and associated conjugates such as an enzyme or dye for visualization.Protein PurificationProtein purification is a vital step in drug discovery, therapeutics, biotech and life science research. The purification process typically involves subcellular or membrane protein extraction with cell lysis kits, separation of proteins from cell debris by filtration or spin columns, and the isolation of proteins of interest from other proteins and impurities with affinity purification (including fusion protein tags and antibody binding proteins A, G and L), immunoprecipitation or chromatographic methods, such as ion exchange, size exclusion and immobilized metal affinity chromatography. All purification methods come in multiple formats for your laboratory needs, including agarose or magnetic beads, resins, columns and filter plates.
