ELISA - Anti-C3b / iC3b antibody [1H8] (AB231080)

96-well microtitre plates were coated overnight at 4°C with recombinant human C3, C3b, iC3b, and Factor H proteins, in duplicate at a concentration of 1μg/mL. Plates were blocked with 1% BSA in PBS-T (0.1% Tween®) for 1 hour before incubation with a 10-step 4x serial dilution of ab231080 from 10μg/mL for 1 hour at room temperature. Antibody binding was detected with Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (HRP) (ab6789) secondary antibody at a 1 in 10000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature. Plates were incubated with TMB ELISA substrate for 7 minutes prior to being stopped with Stop solution and absorbance measured at 450nm.

Western blot - Anti-C3b / iC3b antibody [1H8] (AB231080)

This blot was produced using a 4-12% Bis-tris gel under the MOPS buffer system. The gel was run at 200V for 55 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was then blocked for an hour using 5% milk before being incubated with ab231080 overnight at 4°C. Antibody binding was detected using Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed (ab216773) at 1/20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

Supplementary information

C3b protein also known as complement component 3b plays a significant role in the immune system aiding in the clearance of pathogens. It is a large glycoprotein with a mass of approximately 180 kDa. C3b is expressed mainly in the liver and released into the bloodstream as part of the complement system. Upon activation from its precursor C3 it becomes involved in opsonization enhancing the phagocytosis of pathogens by marking them for destruction by immune cells.
Biological function summary

C3b acts as a critical mediator in the immune system by forming complexes with other complement proteins. It is part of the alternative and classical pathways of the complement system. C3b can also convert itself into iC3b after cleavage by factor I and iC3b continues to facilitate phagocytosis but with reduced ability to promote further complement activation. This conversion ensures homeostasis and regulation preventing overactivation of the immune system.

Pathways

C3b participates in both the classical and alternative pathways of the complement system. It associates with proteins such as factor B and factor D to form the C3bBb complex in the alternative pathway acting as a C3 convertase that amplifies response. In the classical pathway C3b enhances the activity of C5 convertase facilitating the formation of the membrane attack complex. These pathways are vital in maintaining immune surveillance and response to infections.

Dysfunction or dysregulation of C3b activity links to autoimmune diseases and infectious diseases. For example atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) involves uncontrolled complement activation due to mutations affecting proteins like C3b. In such conditions C3b and related proteins such as factor H become therapeutic targets to modulate the complement system's overactivation. Studying the role of C3b in these diseases provides insight into potential interventions and novel treatments to manage complement-related pathologies.

Target data

C3 plays a central role in the activation of the complement system. Its processing by C3 convertase is the central reaction in both classical and alternative complement pathways. After activation C3b can bind covalently, via its reactive thioester, to cell surface carbohydrates or immune aggregates.. Derived from proteolytic degradation of complement C3, C3a anaphylatoxin is a mediator of local inflammatory process. In chronic inflammation, acts as a chemoattractant for neutrophils (By similarity). It induces the contraction of smooth muscle, increases vascular permeability and causes histamine release from mast cells and basophilic leukocytes.. C3-beta-c. Acts as a chemoattractant for neutrophils in chronic inflammation.. Acylation stimulating protein. Adipogenic hormone that stimulates triglyceride (TG) synthesis and glucose transport in adipocytes, regulating fat storage and playing a role in postprandial TG clearance. Appears to stimulate TG synthesis via activation of the PLC, MAPK and AKT signaling pathways. Ligand for C5AR2. Promotes the phosphorylation, ARRB2-mediated internalization and recycling of C5AR2 (PubMed : 10432298, PubMed : 15833747, PubMed : 16333141, PubMed : 19615750, PubMed : 2909530, PubMed : 8376604, PubMed : 9059512).
