Product parameters： Absmax/Em(nm)：648/664；Absmax/Em(nm)：0.03；Extinction coefficient(ε)：240000；Optimal DOL(IgG)：3-6； Usage:1. Experimental materials(1) IgG: IgG must not contain amine chemicals that can react with dyes, such as amino acids, Tris, BSA, gelatin, etc. If IgG contains such chemicals, PBS buffer with pH~7.4 should be used for pre dialysis treatment. The presence of azide compounds does not affect the labeling reaction.(2) Anhydrous DMSO(3) NaHCO3(4) Sephadex gel G-25 dialysis column(5) PBS buffer (pH~7.4)(6) NaN3(7) BSA2. Marking methods and steps(1) Prepare to label antibodiesDilute the antibody with 0.1 M NaHCO3 solution (pH~8.3) to a final concentration of 2.5 mg/mL. If the product is pre diluted with phosphate buffer, such as PBS buffer (without amino compounds), approximately 1/10 volume of 1M NaHCO3 mother liquor can be directly added to the buffer to achieve a final NaHCO3 concentration of 0.1 M.Note: When the protein concentration is 2.5 mg/mL, the labeling efficiency is approximately 35%. Protein concentrations below 2.5 mg/mL can also be used for labeling, but the labeling efficiency will decrease. When the protein concentration is higher than 5 mg/mL, the labeling efficiency may be higher. Due to differences in buffer and protein purity, more precise labeling efficiency is determined by practical operating conditions. If the protein concentration is too low, it can be concentrated by ultrafiltration.(2) Prepare dye storage solutionPreheat one tube at room temperature µ YF of Mole ® SE, add 0.1 mL of anhydrous DMSO to the tube, thoroughly vortex dissolve the dye, and prepare a dye storage solution with a concentration of 10 mM. If a trace amount of protein is used for labeling reactions, the dye needs to be diluted to a lower concentration.Note: a The remaining dye storage solution should be stored at a low temperature of -20 ℃ for future use. If anhydrous DMSO is used to prepare dye storage solution, the dye can be stored for at least one month.b. Dyes can also be prepared with deionized water, but due to the slow hydrolysis of dyes in water, it is best to prepare water based storage solutions for immediate use.(3) Mark reaction stepsa. Stir or vortex the protein solution, gradually adding 15-25 drops µ L dye storage solution (10 mM), with a molar ratio of dye/protein in the range of 9:1 to 15:1. YF ® Please refer to the table above for the range of DOL (number of dyes bound to each protein molecule) for SE labeled IgG antibodies.b. Stir the reaction at room temperature for 1 hour, and for trace labeling, shake and incubate on a shaker for 1 hour.Note: At the same time of the binding reaction, proceed to step 2 (4) to balance the dextran gel G-25 dialysis column.(4) Isolation of marker proteins from reaction solutiona. PBS buffer (pH~7.4) was used to balance the dextran gel G-25 dialysis column (10 mm × 300 mm).b. Add the reaction solution from step 3 (b) to the column and elute with 1 x PBS buffer.The first washed out chromophore is a dye protein complex.Note: a For small-scale labeling reactions, in order to avoid excessive dilution of the product, ultrafiltration devices can be used to remove free dyes from the complex.b. After the binding reaction is completed, if the dye protein complex is not separated in time, 50 can be added µ Terminate the reaction with L 1M lysine. In most cases, this operation is not necessary because the remaining unreacted dyes have been fully hydrolyzed at the end of the reaction.3. Determine DOL(1) The determination of protein concentration and antibody concentration can be calculated using the following formula:C (mg/mL)={[A280- (Amax x x Cf)]/1.4} x dilution factor;a. C refers to the concentration of antibodies collected in the experiment;b. Dilution factor refers to the dilution factor used in photometric measurements;c. A280 and Amax refer to the absorbance at 280 nm and the absorbance at the absorption wavelength, respectively;d. Cf is the correction factor, YF ® Please refer to the table above for the Cf value of SE dyes;Note: The protein solution eluted through the column may have a high concentration when used directly for absorbance detection, so it needs to be diluted to approximately 0.1 mg/mL. The dilution factor (i.e. dilution factor) needs to be determined from the initial number of antibodies (e.g. 5 mg) and the overall elution of protein solutionEstimate based on the product.(2) Estimation of DOLDOL is calculated using the following equation:DOL=(Amax x x Mwt x Dilution Factor)/（ ε X C)a. Amax, dilution factor, C value has been clearly defined in 3 (1);b. Mwt refers to the molecular weight of IgG (150000);C. c ε It's YF ® The molar absorption coefficient of SE, refer to the table on the first page;d. Mark YF ® The optimal DOL value for SE IgG antibodies can be found in the table on the first page. Although DOL values may fluctuate, good experimental results can also be achieved.Matters needing attention：1. if the labeled protein needs long-term storage, it is recommended to add 5-10 mg/ml BSA and 0.01-0.03% NaN3 to prevent protein denaturation and microbial breeding. Store at 4 ℃ away from light. If glycerol with a final concentration of 50% is added, it can be stored at -20 ℃. It can be stably stored for more than one year. 2. keep away from light during operation. The mixing speed should be appropriate to avoid bubbles. 3. when installing the chromatographic column, try to make the column body uniform, the column surface flat, and free of bubbles and cracks. 4. pay attention to adding the sample when the column top buffer is tangent to the gel plane. When eluting, add the eluent when the sample is tangent to the gel plane. 5. other factors affecting the labeling efficiency also include temperature, reaction time, pH, the amount of fluorescent dye and protein, etc., which should be controlled. 6. for your safety and health, please wear laboratory clothes and disposable gloves.Scope of application：Protein nucleic acid labeling dye...

Protein Purity>90 % by SDS PAGEExtinction CoeffA280 nm = 0.725 at 1.0 mg/mL for pure C1s-C1INH ComplexMolecular Weight196,000 Da (1 chain)General DescriptionThe product C1s-C1INH Complex is made by interacting purified protease inhibitor C1-INH with purified C1s enzyme followed by purification. The protease inhibitor C1-INH prevents the spontaneous activation of complement and limits consumption of C2 and C4 by rapidly inactivating C1r, C1s and MASP2. It is the only plasma serine protease inhibitor (Serpin) capable of interacting with and inhibiting activated C1. C1-INH interacts with the catalytic sites of both C1r and C1s. The interaction with activated C1r and C1s is covalent resulting in complexes which are stable to SDS. C1s and C1r enzymes, however, are irreversibly inactivated by binding to C1-INH. C1s-C1INH is a very stable complex that remains intact even when subjected to freeze/thaw cycles with almost no loss of the complex form.Physical Characteristics & StructureThe C1s enzyme-C1INH complex is composed of two disulfide linked chains from C1s enzyme (A chain 58,000 Da and B chain 28,000 Da) and one covalently linked chain from C1-INH (75,000 Da).SDS-PAGE analysis of the C1s-C1INH complex shows a single band of about 161,000 Da under nonreducing conditions. Under reducing conditions, the C1s-C1INH complex exhibits two bands: A 58,000 Da band corresponding to the A chain of C1s enzyme and a second 103,000 Da band resulting from C1INH (75,000 Da) covalently bond to the B chain (28,000 Da) of C1s enzyme.RegulationActivated C1s is controlled by C1-INH. C1s enzyme and C1-INH form a covalent complex that is resistant to separation on SDS gels. During complement activation C1 complex is rapidly activated by binding to immune complexes. The resulting activated C1s and C1r are rapidly inactivated by interaction with C1-INH (Ziccardi, R.J. (1982)). Binding to immune complexes is fast (10-20 sec) and activation of the bound C1 complex takes several minutes, but C1-INH has also been shown to be fast and no active C1r or C1s remain 4 min after addition of immune complexes to plasma (Ross, G.D. (1986); Ziccardi,R.J. (1981)). The binding of C1-INH to activated C1 releases both C1r and C1s from the complex leaving C1q bound to the immune complex. The released complexes contain four molecules: C1-INH-C1r-C1s-C1-INH. The reaction of C1 esterase inhibitor with activated C1 is very fast with the estimated half-life of C1r and C1s being approximately 15 seconds in serum. In fact, at serum concentrations of C1- INH little or no additional C4 or C2 activation occurs 3 min after immune complexes are added because all the C1r and C1s molecules have been inactivated and removed from the C1q which remains bound to the immune complex (Ross, G.D. (1986); Morley, B.J. and Walport, M.J. (2000); Rother, K., et al. (1998); Ziccardi, R.J. (1982a and 1982b); Morgan, B.P. (1990)). The interaction of purified C1s enzyme and C1-INH is slower.FunctionSee General Description and Regulation above.ApplicationsC1s-C1INH complex can be used in studies designed for developing and identifying inhibitors of C1s-C1INH complex formation and thus lead to the possible development of therapeutics for inhibiting complement activation via the classical pathway.GeneticsThe EMBL/Genbank cDNA accession number for C1s is J04080. The gene for C1s is located on chromosome 12p13. The EMBL/Genbank cDNA accession numbers for C1-INH are M13656 and X54486 (human) and Y10386 (mouse). The gene for C1-INH is located on chromosome 11p11.2-13. DeficienciesC1s deficient patients are prone to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and recurrent pyogenic infections (Rother, K., et al. (1998)). They lack classical pathway function. The genetic disorder hereditary angioedema (HAE) is caused by a partial deficiency of C1-INH. Patients with HAE have low functional C1-INH levels in blood and have recurrent episodes of systemic or localized edema.DiseasesSee section titled Deficiencies above.

Read More | General DescriptionNatural human C5a is prepared from human C5 protein cleaved into C5a and C5b by human C5 convertase. The C5a is converted to C5a desArg by proteolytic removal of the C-terminal arginine. The primary carboxypeptidase responsible for Arg removal is serum carboxypeptidase N, but General DescriptionNatural human C5a is prepared from human C5 protein cleaved into C5a and C5b by human C5 convertase. The C5a is converted to C5a desArg by proteolytic removal of the C-terminal arginine. The primary carboxypeptidase responsible for Arg removal is serum carboxypeptidase N, but there are several different carboxypepticases in serum. C5a desArg is a naturally glycosylated polypeptide containing 73 amino acids with a molecular weight of approx. 10,250 daltons. It contains 25% carbohydrate attached to a single Asn residue at position 64. This carbohydrate is of variable structure leading to a broad distribution of MW upon analysis by mass spectroscopy. C5a is the most potent anaplylatoxin (compared to C3a and C4a). C5a desArg is produced when C5a is“inactivated” by removal of its C-terminal arginine amino acid. This cleavage occurs by the action of the plasma enzyme carboxypeptidase N. This inactivation is rapid and most C5a is converted to C5a desArg within minutes of its formation. “Inactivated” C5a still possesses approx. 1% of its anaphylatoxic and chemotatic activities, but its stimulatory activity is only reduced 10-fold. Thus, C5a desArg retains considerable biological activity even though it is frequently called inactivated C5a. Its biological properties include being weakly chemotactic for neutrophils (PMN), causing smooth muscle contraction, increasing vascular permeability, causing histamine and TNF-alpha release, and causing lysosomal degranulation of immune cells. C5a and C5a desArg act through the C5a Receptor (C5aR, CD88, a G-protein coupled receptor) on PMN, monocytes, alveolar macrophages, and mast cells. A second receptor of unknown function (C5L2, gpr77) has been identified. Due to the widespread expression of C5a receptors and the results from C5aR KO mice it is believed that C5a and its receptors have many nonimmunolgical functions in organ development, CNS development, neurodegeneration, tissue regeneration and hematopoiesis (Monk, P.N. et al. (2007)).Native versus Recombinant C5a desArgNumerous recombinant forms of C5a and C5a desArg are sold by many companies. In side-by-side biological testing, we have found that our native native proteins are 10- to 100-fold more active per µg than all but one of these recombinant proteins. Structurally not a single one of the recombinant proteins on the market has the correct amino acid sequence or structure. They have extra amino acids at the N-terminal (such as 6 His tags), different amino acids in the sequence itself (some were produced from the original, but incorrect amino acid sequence), and none possess the 25% carbohydrate at Asn 64. In fact, one recombinant C5a on the market has approximately 30 additional amino acids at the N-terminal end due to the cloning vector used. This is a 40% addition of nonsense structure to the C5a molecule. Both our C5a and our C5adesArg are native proteins produced by the native human C5 convertase.Physical Characteristics & StructureDeglycosylated MW: Calculated monoisotopic mass 8112; Calculated average mass 8117.Isoelectric point: pI = 8.8Carbohydrate content: ~25% carbohydrate (heterogeneous) Amino acid sequence: TLQKKIEEIA AKYKHSVVKK CCYDGACVNN DETCEQRAAR ISLGPRCIKA FTECCVVASQ LRANISHKDM QLGMDL Number: MFCD00130842NMRderived structure: FEBS Lett. 238:289-294, 1988; Biochemistry 28:172-185,1989; Biochemistry 29:2895-2905, 1990; Proteins 28:261-267, 1997.Extinction Coeff. A280 nm = 0.41 at 1.0 mg/mlPurity: > 97% by SDS-PAGEAssaysThe multitude of biological functions of C5a has resulted in the use of many different assay systems. The most typical biological assays being smooth muscle contraction assays using guinea pig ileum, chemotaxis assays using neutrophils or granule-release assays using human PMN or similar cell lines. Granule release is generally followed by measuring the release of myeloperoxidase. Functional responses have been detected in the picomolar concentration range (Gerard, C. et al. (1981); Hugli, T.E. et al. (1981)).ELISA kits for the assay of C5a and C5a desArg in blood and other fluids are sold by many companies. These measurements are useful for detecting complement activation in vivo, but the interpretation of their meaning is complicated by the fact that clearance of the anaphylatoxins is rapid.In vivoThe resting serum concentration of C5a desArg has been reported to be approximately 4 nM although it is difficult to draw, store and test blood without 1 to 10 % C5 activation (Watkins, J. (1987)). The presence of EDTA and Futhan in the collection tubes can minimize this background. Full activation of all C5 in blood (75 µg/mL) would result in ~380 nM C5a (~3.9 µg/mL). Due to the extreme sensitivity of many C5a responses, a response can theoretically be initiated by activation of approximately one millionth of the C5 in a local area (sub-picomolar C5a).RegulationC5adesArg levels are regulated by two processes: formation and clearance. The enzymes that cleave C5 and release C5a (collectively called C5 convertases) do so at very slow rates. Operating at Vmax the best enzymes only cleave one C5 every three minutes (Rawal, N. and Pangburn, M.K. (2001)). C5a desArg is created when C5a is“inactivated” by removal of its C-terminal arginine amino acid. The product C5a desArg is produced by the action of the plasma enzyme carboxypeptidase N. This inactivation is rapid and most C5a is converted to C5a desArg within minutes of its formation. “Inactivated” C5a still possesses approx. 1% of its anaphylatoxic and chemotatic activities, but its stimulatory activity is only reduced 10-fold. Thus, C5a desArg retains considerable biological activity even though it is frequently called inactivated C5a. Because of the large number of cells bearing C5a receptors (endothelial, immune, smooth muscle, neuronal, etc.) the capture, internalization and digestion of C5a and C5a desArg results in their rapid removal from circulation.DeficienciesA deficiency of C5 or a deficiency of the enzymes that cleave C5 to generate C5a would result in the absence of C5a and C5a desArg. A knock-out mouse deficient in carboxypeptidase N has been created and found to be hypersensitive to complement activation and CVF administration (Mueller-Ortiz S.L. et al. (2009)). Administration of human C5a was 100% lethal in these KO mice probably due to their inability to inactivate C5a to C5a desArg. There are no known complete deficiencies of C5 convertases. Examples of C5 deficient humans and mice exist. In fact, many laboratory mouse strains in common use were shown to have been bred with a deficiency of C5 (A/HeJ, AKR/J, DBA/2J, NZB/B1NJ, SWR/J, and B10.D2/nSnJ). The lack of C5 prevents formation of the membrane attack complex of complement and precludes formation of C5a and C5a desArg. Humans lacking C5 are susceptible to repeated infections from a wide variety of organisms, primarily gram-negative bacteria. Meningococcal and gonococcal neisserial infections are especially problematic. The degree to which pathologies associated with C5 deficiency are due to the lack of C5 or due to the absence of C5a and C5a desArg is unclear but information on this isbeing acquired from receptor knock-out animals.DiseasesSee Deficiencies above.Precautions/Toxicity/HazardsThis protein is purified from human serum and therefore precautions appropriate for handling any blood-derived product must be used even though the source was shown by certified tests to be negative for HBsAg, HTLV-I/II, STS, and for antibodies to HCV, HIV-1 and HIV-II.Injection can cause anaphylatic shock which is a generalized circulatory collapse similar to that caused by an allergic reaction.Hazard Code: B WGK Germany 3MSDS available upon request...
