Patented technology
Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

What are the advantages of a recombinant monoclonal antibody?
This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Conjugation ready
Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

Sandwich ELISA
The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization for ELISA-based assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type. Please note that the range provided for this antibody is only an estimation based on the performance of the product using the recommended antibody pair. Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibody in your assay.

Supplementary information

This supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.

The C1QA protein is one part of the complement component 1q (C1q) molecule also called C1Q-A. This protein plays an important role in the immune system. The C1q complex consists of three polypeptide chains: C1QA C1QB and C1QC. C1QA alone has a mass of around 26 kDa. These proteins mainly express in immune cells like macrophages dendritic cells and B cells. It forms part of the extracellular matrix where it participates in immune functions.
Biological function summary

C1QA interacts with pathogens and modified host cells to trigger the complement cascade. This starts the activation of the classical pathway which enhances immune responses. C1QA together with C1QB and C1QC binds to Fc regions of antibodies attached to antigens. This binding leads to the subsequent activation of C1r and C1s proteases facilitating opsonization and clearance of immune complexes and apoptotic cells.

Pathways

The synthesis of C1QA plays an important role in the classical complement pathway and is part of the innate immunity. C1QA collaborates with proteins like C1QB and C1QC in this pathway. This pathway bridges innate and adaptive immunity by assisting in the removal of pathogens and cell debris. It also relates to the coagulation pathway where its activity can influence inflammation and tissue repair processes.

Impaired C1QA function links to conditions like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis. These diseases often associate with inappropriate activation or regulation of the complement system. C1QA mutations or deficiencies can result in a higher susceptibility to SLE and interactions with C1QB and C1QC are also implicated in this disease. Moreover C1QA influences the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis by modulating inflammation responses.

Target data

Core component of the complement C1 complex, a multiprotein complex that initiates the classical pathway of the complement system, a cascade of proteins that leads to phagocytosis and breakdown of pathogens and signaling that strengthens the adaptive immune system (PubMed : 12847249, PubMed : 19006321, PubMed : 24626930, PubMed : 29449492, PubMed : 3258649, PubMed : 34155115, PubMed : 6249812, PubMed : 6776418). The classical complement pathway is initiated by the C1Q subcomplex of the C1 complex, which specifically binds IgG or IgM immunoglobulins complexed with antigens, forming antigen-antibody complexes on the surface of pathogens : C1QA, together with C1QB and C1QC, specifically recognizes and binds the Fc regions of IgG or IgM via its C1q domain (PubMed : 12847249, PubMed : 19006321, PubMed : 24626930, PubMed : 29449492, PubMed : 3258649, PubMed : 6776418). Immunoglobulin-binding activates the proenzyme C1R, which cleaves C1S, initiating the proteolytic cascade of the complement system (PubMed : 29449492). The C1Q subcomplex is activated by a hexamer of IgG complexed with antigens, while it is activated by a pentameric IgM (PubMed : 19706439, PubMed : 24626930, PubMed : 29449492). The C1Q subcomplex also recognizes and binds phosphatidylserine exposed on the surface of cells undergoing programmed cell death, possibly promoting activation of the complement system (PubMed : 18250442).
