If the volume of dNTP is not 0.8µl, adjust the volume of DEPC-treated Water accordingly.b. Mix well by vortex or pipetting gently, centrifuge briefly to collect liquid at the bottom of PCR tube.c. If using Oligo(dT)18 or gene-specific primers, incubate the reaction mixture at 42℃ for 60 minutes. If random hexamer is used, incubate at 25℃ for 10 minutes followed by 60 minutes at 42℃. Note: For RNA templates with high GC content, incubate the reaction at 45℃ for 60 minutes.d. Incubate at 70℃ for 10 minutes to stop the reaction. Note: Heat-inactivation of reverse transcriptase is not recommended for long cDNA over 5kb, as this method may cause shearing of long cDNA fragments. In such a case, phenol-chloroform extraction or column purification can be considered.e. The reverse transcription products can be used directly for subsequent experiments such as PCR, or stored at -20℃ for future use. We recommend using 2µl reverse transcription products in a PCR reaction volume of 50µl.For other uses, please refer to the relevant literature of M-MuLV reverse transcriptase.FAQ:1. The reverse transcription product of total RNA is invisible after electrophoresis.It is a normal phenomenon, because the amount of RNA template is low, and the amount of reverse transcription products in different size is even lower.2. No specific product can be amplified from the reverse transcription product.a. To exclude the problem of PCR reaction system or reverse transcription product, use gene-specific primers to amplify internal reference genes, such as actin and GAPDH. Reference genes can be amplified but not the target gene, indicating primers of target gene are not well designed or the expression of the target gene is too low to be detected. b. Inappropriate primer is used for reverse transcription. Random hexamer instead of Oligo(dT)18 should be used for the reverse transcription of bacterial total RNA which does not have poly(A) tails. Gene-specific primers used for reverse transcription must be well designed...

C3 is central to the activation of all three pathways of complement activation (Law, S.K.A. and Reid, K.B.M. (1995)). Initiation of each pathway generates proteolytic enzyme complexes (C3 convertases) which are bound to the target surface. These enzymes cleave a peptide bond in C3 releasing the anaphylatoxin C3a and activating C3b. For a brief time (~60 µs) this nascent C3b is capable of reacting with and covalently coupling to hydroxyl groups on the target surface. Carbohydrates are the favored target, but protein hydroxyls and amino groups also react. This process of tagging the target surface with C3b is called opsonization. The reactive site in nascent C3b is a thioester (Tack B.J., et al. (1980); Pangburn M.K. and MüllerEberhard H.J. (1980)) and C3b is linked to the target through a covalent ester bond (an amide bond is formed if C3b is attached to amino groups). Most of the C3 activated during complement activation never attaches to the surface because its thioester reacts with water forming fluid phase C3b which is rapidly inactivated by factors H and I forming iC3b. Surface-bound C3b is necessary in all three pathways for efficient activation of C5 and formation of C5b-9 complexes that lyse the target cell membrane. Surface-bound C3b and its breakdown products iC3b and C3d are recognized by numerous receptors on lymphoid and phagocytic cells which use the C3b ligand to stimulate antigen presentation to cells of the adaptive immune system. The end result is an expansion of target-specific B-cell and T-cell populations.Physical Characteristics & StructureThe calculated molecular weight of rat C3 based on its amino acid sequence is 184,111daltons (without the signal peptide) and is similar to that of human C3 (185,000 daltons).The molecular weight of rat C3 as determined by SDS/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis has been reported by Daha, M.R. et al., (1979) to be 187,000 daltons composed of two disulfide linked chains, alpha chain (123,000 daltons) and beta chain (76,000 daltons). The extinction coefficient of rat C3 (E1%/280nm = 10.16) is calculated based on its amino acid sequence using ProtParam and assumes all pairs of Cys residues form cystines (i.e. a pair of cysteine molecules are joined by a disulfide bond). The theoretical pI of rat C3 is 6.12. The normal plasma concentration of C3 inWistar rats has been reported to be 0.581mg/ml (Daha, M.R. et al., (1979)).FunctionThe biological functions of C3 are described above in the General Description section.GeneticsRat C3 chromosome location 9. The NCBI Gene ID number for rat C3 is 24232 and UniProt accession number is P01026.Precautions/Toxicity/HazardsThis protein is purified from animal plasma/serum and therefore precautions appropriate for handling any animal blood-derived product must be used.ReferencesLaw, S.K.A. and Reid, K.B.M.
