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.

Before use, the bottle should be removed from the refrigerator and equilibrated to room temperature and centrifuged before opening the cap for use. Samples should be restored to the sealed state as soon as possible after opening.How to use (take qPCR experiment as an example)1. Amplification template preparationThe samples to be detected were diluted with TE (10 mM Tris-Cl, pH 8.0,1 mM EDTA), and the concentration after dilution was as close as possible to the range of 0.05-10 ng/µL. The samples were placed on ice at 4°C and set aside.2. Standard dilution: according to the following table, firstly dilute Human DNA Standard 1 (100ng/uL) with TE to make 5 different concentrations of standards according to the table below. 10ng/µL of DNA Standard 1 (Std. 1) can be stored stably at -20℃ for 1 month; Std2-5 can only be used on the same day, and should be placed at 4℃ or on ice when not in use for the time being after preparation. When not used temporarily after preparation, it should be stored at 4℃ or on ice.styleCorresponding concentration (ng/µL)Minimum dilution volume (in µL)Std.11010 [100 ng/µL DNA Standard 1] + 90 TEStd.22.520 [Std. 1] +60 TEStd.30.62520 [Std. 2] +60 TEStd.40.1562520 [Std. 3] +60 TEStd.50.039062520 [Std. 4] +60 TE3. qPCR reaction system preparationThe cryopreserved reagents to be used were completely thawed and mixed by inversion several times before preparation, and then briefly centrifuged and prepared for use. 20 µL of the base reaction system was as follows.The base reaction system for 20 µL was as follows:reagents20µL reaction system2×qPCRMix10µLPrimerMixXµLProbeMixXµLTemplate4µLddH2OMake up to 20 µLNote: High Rox model: add 1 µL of 50×High Rox per 50 µL of reaction system; Low Rox model: add 1 µL of 50×High Rox per 500 µL of reaction system.Usually, better results can be obtained with a primer concentration of 0.2 µM, and 0.1-1.0 µM can be used as a reference for setting the range.The concentration of the probe used is related to the fluorescent quantitative PCR instrument used, the type of probe, and the type of fluorescent labeling substance, so please refer to the manual of the instrument or the specific requirements for the use of each fluorescent probe for the adjustment of the concentration during actual use.Prepare a sufficient amount of reaction system mixture as required. After the reaction system has been prepared and mixed thoroughly, add 16 µL per well to the reaction wells. Then add the prepared standard and diluted sample into the corresponding reaction wells, the volume of addition is 4µL/well. TE was added to the blank control tube, and the same amount of TE was added at 4 µL/well.It is recommended to use 20 µL for the reaction, if you need to perform a smaller system reaction, reduce the system components in equal proportion.4. qPCR reaction programThe following is an example of our GoldStar Probe Mixture reaction conditions, which should be improved and optimized according to the PCR product template, primer structure and target fragment size.movetemptimingcirculatepremutability95°C10min1denaturation95°C10sec55Annealing/Extension60°C30sec5Data analysis1.

Streptavidin homo-tetramers have an extraordinarily high affinity for biotin. With a dissociation constant on the order of ≈10⁻¹⁴ mol/L, the binding of biotin to streptavidin is one of the strongest non-covalent interactions known in nature. Unlike egg-white avidin, which has a net positive charge at neutral pH and contains about 7% carbohydrate, streptavidin has almost no net charge at neutral pH, does not contain carbohydrate, and exhibits lower non-specific background. Streptavidin conjugates are widely used together with a conjugate of biotin for specific detection of a variety of proteins, protein motifs, nucleic acids and other molecules. This FITC-streptavidin conjugate was prepared by highly purified Streptavidin and free FITC was removed. Streptavidin (FITC) is a useful second-step reagent for the indirect immunofluorescent staining of cells in combination with biotinylated primary antibodies for flow cytometric analysis. Excitation at 488nm light leads to a fluorescence emission maximum of 520 nm.Recommended Usage：Every lot of Streptavidin-FITC is tested by flow cytometry using biotinylated primary antibodies. From this testing it is recommended that between 0.02 and 0.25 µg of streptavidin be used per 106 cells in a 100 µl staining volume... Read More |
