    I'm writing to ask if your C4 antibody (https://www.abcam.com/c4-antibody-16d2-ab11863.html) works in mouse brain tissue. I've been screening C4 antibodies in mouse brain but have been unable to get one to work. Do you think your antibody is worth tryi...

    Assuming you have not already tried this clone, 16D2, the antibody ab11863 should be capable of detecting mouse C4, but we do not know how much is expected to be present in brain tissue. We recommend a positive control of, for instance, mouse kidney. T...

    Customer called call regarding antibodies against C4d, in particular ab89537 and if it is specific for C4d (and not C4). Or if we have any antibodies specific for this with mouse samples. With application in flow/IHC.

    Thank you for contacting us. I have been doing a little research into C4 and the antibodies that we currently have available against this target. As discussed on the phone, ab89537 recognises mouse C4d and C4 and has been tested in flow cytomet...

    Hi, I would like to purchase this antibody, but would like to know what tissue to use as a positive control. Thank you!

    Thank you for contacting us. The following reference has used the antibody and gives details of its characterization: Murata, K et al; Synergistic deposition of C4d by complement-activating and non-activating antibodies in cardiac transplants. ...
