C1q is part of the C1 complex, which is the first complement component in the classical pathway of complement. The C1 complex is a non-covalent assembly of three different proteins (C1q, C1r, and C1s) bound together in a calcium-dependent complex. C1q has six extended arms with domains at the end of each arm that bind to the Fc domains of immunoglobulins such as IgG or IgM. When antibodies bind toantigens, forming immune complexes, they cluster allowing two or more of the six C1q arms to bind to the Fc domains of antibodies. Rat IgG2 is very efficient when compared to IgG1 in activating complement (Medgyesi, G.A et., al., 1981). This is in contrast to the human system in which IgG1 activates complement but not IgG2 (Redpath, S. et. al., 1998). The binding of multiple arms of C1q to immune complexes causes the two C1r proteins in the complex (protease zymogens) to auto-activate. The activated C1r proteases cleave and activate the two C1s protease zymogens in the complex. The activated C1s cleaves complement component C4 releasing C4a and initiating covalent attachment of C4b to the activating surface. Activated C1s also cleaves C2 and the larger fragment of C2 binds to the surface-attached C4b forming C4b,C2a, the C3/C5 convertase of the classical pathway.Rat IgG1 cannot activate complement whereas rat IgG2 does.Physical Characteristics & StructureThe apparent molecular weight of rat C1q as determined by gel filtration has been reported to be 400,000 by Veerhuis, R. et al., (1985) and is calculated to be 420,000 based on its amino acid sequence. Rat C1q is a high molecular weight complex of 18 polypeptide chains. Each of the six arms of rat C1q contains three chains, an A chain (~30,000 daltons), a B chain (~28,000 daltons) and a C chain (~26,000 daltons) as determined by SDS/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (Wing, M.G. et al., (1993)).FunctionThe biological functions of C1q are described above in the General Description and Physical Characteristics sections.ApplicationsRat C1q can be used to coat ELISA plates to capture and quantitate immune complexes in samples from rat models used for studying immune complex related diseases and conditions.GeneticsNCBI Gene ID numbers for rat C1q are: C1q A chain (298566), C1q B chain (29687), and C1q C chain (362634). The genes for C1q chains A, B and C are all located on chromosome 5. The UniprotKB primary accession numbers for rat C1q are: C1q A chain (P31720), C1q B chain (P31721), and C1q C chain (P31722).Precautions/Toxicity/HazardsThis protein is purified from animal plasma/serum and therefore precautions appropriate for handling any animal blood-derived product must be used.ReferencesMedgyesi, G.A et., Miklos, K., Kulics, J., Fust, G., and Gergely, J.

The operation is simple and convenientGoldStar Probe Mixture is a premixed system specifically designed for real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR using probe methods (TaqMan, Molecular Beacon, etc.), with a concentration of 2 x, containing GoldStar Taq DNA Polymerase, PCR Buffer, dNTPs, and Mg2+. The operation is simple and convenient. Mainly used for detecting genomic DNA target sequences and RNA reverse transcription cDNA target sequences, such as gene expression analysis, copy number analysis, SNP genotype analysis, etc., suitable for fluorescence quantification using different types of probe methods. The GoldStar Taq DNA Polymerase contained in this product is a chemically modified, novel and highly efficient hot start enzyme. It has no polymerase activity at room temperature, effectively avoiding non-specific amplification caused by non-specific binding of primers and templates or primer dimerization at room temperature. The enzyme activation requires incubation at 95 ℃ for 10 minutes. The unique combination of PCR buffer system and hot start enzyme significantly improves the amplification efficiency of PCR, with stronger fluorescence signal and higher sensitivity, which can detect single copy templates. By using this product, a wider linear range can be obtained, resulting in more accurate quantification of the target gene. Suitable for all fluorescence quantitative PCR instruments that do not require ROX as a calibration dye.ROX dye is used to correct the fluorescence signal error between wells in quantitative PCR instruments, and is generally used in Real Time PCR amplification instruments from companies such as ABI and Stratagene. The excitation optical systems of different instruments vary, so the concentration of ROX dye must be matched with the corresponding fluorescence quantitative PCR instrument.Instruments that do not require ROX calibration (CW0932): Roche LightCycle 480, Roche LightCyler 96, Bio rad iCyler iQ, iQ5, CFX96, etc.Instrument requiring Low ROX calibration (CW2625): ABI Prism7500/7500 Fast, QuantStudio ® 3 System, QuantStudio ® 5 System, QuantStudio ® 6 Flex System, QuantStudio ® 7 Flex System, ViiA 7 System, Stratagene Mx3000/Mx3005P, Corbett Rotor Gene 3000, etc.Instruments that require High ROX calibration (CW2626): ABI Prism7000/7300/7700/7900, Eppendorf, ABI Step One/Step One Plus, etc.G665832Component5 mLStorageG665832A2×GoldStar Probe Mixture5×1 mL-20℃.
