Flow Cytometry (Intracellular) - Anti-C3 antibody [EPR2988] (AB181147)
Intracellular Flow Cytometry analysis of HepG2 (Human hepatocellular carcinoma epithelial cell) cells labeling C3 with purified ab181147 at 1/20 dilution (5 μg/mL) (Red). Cells were fixed with 4% Paraformaldehyde and permeabilised with 90% Methanol. A Goat anti rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor® 488, ab150077) secondary antibody was used at 1/2000. Isotype control - Rabbit monoclonal IgG (Black). Unlabeled control - Cell without incubation with primary antibody and secondary antibody (Blue).

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-C3 antibody [EPR2988] (AB181147)
Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence analysis of HepG2 (Human hepatocellular carcinoma epithelial cell) cells labeling C3 with purified ab181147 at 1/250 dilution (0.4 μg/mL). Cells were fixed in 100% Methanol and permeabilized with None. Cells were counterstained with ab195889 Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Microtubule Marker (Alexa Fluor® 594) 1/200 (2.5 μg/mL). Goat anti rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor® 488, ab150077) was used as the secondary antibody at 1/1000 (2 μg/mL) dilution. DAPI (blue) was used as nuclear counterstain. PBS instead of the primary antibody was used as the secondary antibody only control.

Western blot - Anti-C3 antibody [EPR2988] (AB181147)
C3 western blot using anti-C3 antibody [EPR2988] ab181147. Publication image and figure legend from Schäfer, N., Rasras, A., et al., 2021, Front Immunol, PubMed 34819935.
ab181147 was used in this publication in western blot. This may not be the same as the application(s) guaranteed by Abcam. For a full list of applications guaranteed by Abcam for ab181147 please see the product overview.
C3aR expression was time-dependently regulated in FHR-3 stressed ARPE-19 cells. (A)C3AR mRNA expression was decreased after 5 h and increased after 24 h FHR-3 incubation. This effect could be confirmed on protein level : (B) Western blots of ARPE-19 cell lysates showed a tendency for decreased C3aR levels (54 kDa) 5 h after FHR-3 treatment. Supplementary Figure 1M shows full Western blots. (C) Decreased C3aR protein levels were detected by immunofluorescence using a specific anti-C3aR antibody (red) after 5 h FHR-3 incubation (upper panels), whereas no differences between FHR-3 stressed and unstressed controls were observed after 24 h (lower panels). Scale bars 40 μm. w/o untreated control (dotted line). Mean with standard deviation is shown. *p < 0.05. (A) Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test (n = 3); (B) Ordinary one-way ANOVA, Turkey's multiple comparisons test (n = 3).

Biological function summary
Complement component C3 forms part of the innate immune system by promoting opsonization which enhances phagocytosis of pathogens. C3b binds to pathogens' surfaces facilitating their recognition by phagocytes. C3 as part of a complex with C3 convertase also has a role in amplifying the activation of the complement cascade. The proteolytic cleavage of C3 into C3b and C3a leads to the activation of other components forming the membrane attack complex and orchestrating inflammation.
Pathways
The complement component C3 functions within both the classical and alternative complement pathways. It acts as a convergence point where the complement activation pathways meet. C3 is activated into C3b and C3a which are key to amplifying the cascade. Furthermore C3 interacts with proteins such as factor B and factor D in the alternative pathway and C4 and C2 in the classical pathway facilitating the formation of C3 convertase necessary for pathway progression.
