Because it was isolated and studied in numerous research laboratories, many buffers have been used to stabilize concentrated C1q and prevent aggregation. About half of the scientists prefer high salt and C1q separated from C1r and C1s and from other stabilizing proteins tends to aggregate easily. Because it was isolated and studied in numerous research laboratories, many buffers have been used to stabilize concentrated C1q and prevent aggregation. About half of the scientists prefer high salt and the other prefer 40% glycerol in the storage buffer.C1q is purified from pooled normal human plasma. C1q is part of the C1 complex and this complex is the first complement component in the cascade referred to as the classical pathway of complement. C1 is actually 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. When antibodies bind to antigens forming immune complexes they cluster allowing two or more of its six arms of C1q to bind to the Fc domains of antibodies such as IgG or IgM. The binding of multiple arms to immune complexes causes the two C1r proteins in the complex (protease zymogens) to auto-activate producing two C1r proteases that cleave and activate the two C1s protease zymogens in the complex. 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 which is the C3/C5 convertase of the classical pathway.Extinction Coeff.A₂₈₀ nm = 0.68 at 1.0 mg/ml for pure C1q Molecular weight:410,000 Da (18 chains)Preservative:None, 0.22 µm filtered.Source:Normal human serum (shown by certified tests to be negative for HBsAg, HTLV-I/II, STS, and for antibodies to HCV, HIV-1 and HIV-II).Physical Characteristics & StructureC1q is a high molecular weight complex of 18 polypeptide chains. Each of the six arms of C1q contains three chains, an A chain (26,000 daltons), a B chain (25,000 daltons) and a C chain (24,000 daltons). The three chains are coiled into a collagen-like triple helix over approximately half their length. Half of this collagen region forms a central core where all 18 chains come together. The chains are joined in this core by disulfides in the pattern A-B and C-C. There is a bend in the center of the collagen region allowing the arms to extend away from each other. Globular heads at the far ends of the collagen arms possess binding sites for Fc domains of immunoglobulins. C1 complex is composed of one C1q molecule (410,000 daltons), two C1r molecules (92,000 daltons) and two C1s molecules (86,000 daltons). The complex is stable in the presence of calcium, but easily dissociates if calcium is removed. When C1 is activated the C1r and C1s subunits are each cleaved into two chain molecules due to proteolytic activation. Thus, the SDS gel pattern of C1 is very complex. Function The biological functions of C1q are described above in the General Description and Physical Characteristics sections. C1q functional activity may be assayed using C1q-depleted serum and EA cells. These assays are extremely sensitive to C1q typically yielding 50% lysis with less than 2 ng C1q in assays measuring the lysis of EA cells. AssaysThe unit of classical pathway activity is the CH50. A similar unit, the C1qH50, is used to quantitate the activity of C1q. A C1qH50 unit is the amount of functional C1q needed to lyse 50% of 3×10^7 EA cells (antibody-sensitized sheep erythrocytes) when that amount of C1q is incubated with 5-20 µL of C1q-Dpl in GVB++ in a total volume of 500 µL for 30 min at 37℃. This amount of C1q indicates the sensitivity of the assay for C1q which is typically about 1 ng C1q with 10 µL C1q-Dpl. See the Certificate of Analysis for lot specific values.ApplicationsC1q is used to coat ELISA plates to capture and quantitate immune complexes in clinical samples. A number of commercial companies sell diagnostic kits for immune complex detection and quantitation. These kits are based on the ability of C1q to bind well to immune complexes, but to not bind significantly to monomeric immunoglobulins. GeneticsThe EMBL/Genbank cDNA accession numbers are: C1q A chain (P02745), C1q B chain (P02746), and C1q C chain (P02747). The genes for C1q chains A, B and C are all located on chromosome 1p in the order A-C-B. DeficienciesDeficiencies of each of the three components of C1 have been found. Patients lacking C1q generally have immune-complex-mediated renal disease and skin lesions. Like all patients lacking early classical pathway components C1q deficient individuals are prone to systemic lupus erythrematosis (SLE) and recurrent pyogenic infections. They lack classical pathway function and may or may not exhibit C1q antigen in blood.DiseasesSee section titled 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...

Avoid freeze/thaw cycle.* This kit is suitable for human genomic DNA library construction with a starting template DNA input of 50 ng. We also have transposase library construction kits for human genomic DNA starting at 5 ng and 1 ng, so it is recommended to use different kits for different starting amounts of DNA in order to obtain higher quality libraries. Products IntroductionThis kit is developed for Illumina's high-throughput sequencing platform and provides the enzyme premix system and reaction buffer for genomic DNA library construction, including all components except PCR primers. Compared with the traditional library construction kits, this kit adopts the new transposase method for library construction, which can complete DNA fragmentation, end repair and junction reaction in one simple enzymatic reaction, significantly reducing the amount of template, reducing the number of experimental steps, and shortening the time of library construction; it adopts the high-fidelity DNA polymerase for library enrichment, and the preference-free PCR amplification can expand the coverage area of the sequence, which can be used for efficient and effective sequencing. The use of high-fidelity DNA polymerase for library enrichment and preference-free PCR amplification broadens the coverage area of the sequence and enables efficient preparation of DNA libraries for Illumina's second-generation sequencing platform. The kit is suitable for DNA libraries with a starting template of 50 ng, and all reagents in the kit have been subjected to strict quality control and functional validation to maximize the stability and reproducibility of library construction. Product Features ● DNA fragmentation and junction ligation in one step.● Ultra-fidelity amplification minimizes amplification-preferred steps.Provide your own instruments, kits and consumables1. Magnetic frame: DynaMagTM-2 is recommended.2. DNA purification and recovery kit: It is recommended to use DNA purification and recovery kit by magnetic bead method.3. Library PCR primer kits: transposase method for second-generation sequencing multi-sample primer kits are recommended. 4. Anhydrous ethanol, deionized water (pH between 7.0 and 8.0).5. Reaction tubes: It is recommended to use low adsorption PCR tubes and 1.5 ml centrifuge tubes. Tips: It is recommended to use high quality filter tips to prevent contamination of kits and library samples. Pre-experiment Preparation and Important Notes1. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing of reagents.2. PCR products are easily contaminated due to improper operation, resulting in inaccurate results. It is recommended to isolate the PCR reaction system preparation area from the PCR product purification area, and to use special pipettes to clean the experimental areas at regular intervals.3. Bead purification: the beads should be equilibrated to room temperature before use, all operations on the beads should be carried out at room temperature, 80% ethanol should be dispensed freshly, the beads should be rinsed and dried until the surface is free of liquid reflections and has a frosted appearance, insufficient drying of the beads will cause ethanol residue that will affect the subsequent experiments, and over-drying of the beads will affect the efficiency of DNA recovery.4. The kit is suitable for human genomic DNA library construction, if the DNA sample is a PCR product, it should be ensured that its length>.500 bp, since transposases do not work on DNA ends, it is recommended to extend the PCR product by 50-100 bp at each end of the PCR product to avoid low coverage of the ends for sequencing.Sample PreparationDNA purity requirements: A260/A280 = 1.8-2.0. Sample DNA: dissolve in ultrapure water. DNA Quantification: Too much or too little DNA will affect the quality of the library. It is recommended to use Nano to test the purity of the genomic DNA and then use Qubit to test the concentration of the genome (do not use any absorbance-based assay for template quantification).Schematic diagram of DNA banking processprocedureDNA fragmentation, junction reaction1.

HMGB1 is a DNA-binding nuclear protein,Purity:>90%, by SDS-PAGE visualized with Coomassie® Blue Staining.Description: High-mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1), also known as HMG-1 or amphoterin previously, is a member of the HMGB family consisting of three members, HMGB1, HMGB2, and HMGB3. HMGB1 is a DNA-binding nuclear protein, released actively following cytokine stimulation as well as passively during cell death. It is the prototypic damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) molecule and has been implicated in several inflammatory disorders. HMGB1 signals via the receptor for advanced glycation end-product (RAGE) and members of the toll-like receptor (TLR) family. The most prominent HMGB1 protein and mRNA expression arthritis are present in pannus regions, where synovial tissue invades articular cartilage and bone. HMGB1 promotes the activity of proteolytic enzymes, and osteoclasts need HMGB1 for functional maturation. As a non-histone nuclear protein, HMGB1 has a dual function. Inside the cell, HMGB1 binds DNA, regulating transcription, and determining chromosomal architecture. Outside the cell, HMGB1 can serve as an alarmin to activate the innate system and mediate a wide range of physiological and pathological responses. Extracellular HMGB1 represents an optimal " necrotic marker" selected by the innate immune system to recognize tissue damage and initiate reparative responses. However, extracellular HMGB1 also acts as a potent pro-inflammatory cytokine that contributes to the pathogenesis of diverse inflammatory and infectious disorders. HMGB1 has been successfully therapeutically targeted in multiple preclinical models of infectious and sterile diseases including arthritis. As shown in studies on patients as well as animal models, HMGB1 can play an important role in the pathogenesis of the rheumatic disease, including rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and polymyositis among others. Besides, enhanced postmyocardial infarction remodeling in type 1 diabetes mellitus was partially mediated by HMGB1 activation...

Description： 100B, previously called S100 beta, belongs to the S100 family within the EF-hand superfamily of Ca2+ binding proteins. S100 proteins contain two EF-hand motifs that differ in affinity, separated by a hingePurity:>95%, by SDS-PAGE visualized with Coomassie® Blue Staining. Description： 100B, previously called S100 beta, belongs to the S100 family within the EF-hand superfamily of Ca2+ binding proteins. S100 proteins contain two EF-hand motifs that differ in affinity, separated by a hinge region with a hydrophobic cleft that is exposed upon Ca2+ binding. S100B is a 91 amino acid (aa) protein, after removal of the initial methionine, and is found as homodimers of 10.4 kDa monomers. Human S100B shares 99%, 98%, 100%, 99% and 97% aa sequence identity with mouse, rat, rabbit, equine and bovine S100B, respectively. Within the S100 family, human S100B shows the highest aa identity (59%) with S100A1. S100B is expressed primarily by astrocytes and oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system, and by Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system. Ca2+-bound S100B interacts in vitro with at least 20 cytoplasmic proteins, including several structural molecules such as tubulin and GFAP. It can inhibit the phosphorylation of these kinase substrates and others such as tau and neuromodulin. Astrocytes can secrete S100B, which then acts in a cytokine-like manner. Nanomolar concentrations of S100B are secreted constitutively, promote proliferation, and are neurotrophic and anti-apoptotic. Blood levels of S100B reflect extracellular concentrations within the nervous system, and are elevated in Down’s syndrome, Alzheimer’s disease and Tourette’s syndrome, metabolic stress, acute brain injury and brain tumors. Micromolar concentrations of S100B can be destructive and pro-apoptotic; they induce the expression of iNOS, COX-2, IL-1, IL‑6 and TNF-alpha by microglia, astrocytes or neurons. Most extracellular actions of S100B can be mediated by RAGE (receptor for advanced glycation end products), which is also a receptor for other S100 proteins... Read More |
