Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-C5b-9 antibody (AB55811)
ab55811 staining C5b-9 in human liver.
Left panel : with primary antibody at 4 ug/ml. Right panel : isotype control.
Sections were stained using an automated system (DAKO Autostainer Plus ), at room temperature : sections were rehydrated and antigen retrieved with the Dako 3 in 1 AR buffers citrate pH6.1 in a DAKO PT link. Slides were peroxidase blocked in 3% H2O2 in methanol for 10 mins. They were then blocked with Dako Protein block for 10 minutes (containing casein 0.25% in PBS) then incubated with primary antibody for 20 min and detected with Dako envision flex amplification kit for 30 minutes. Colorimetric detection was completed with Diaminobenzidine for 5 minutes. Slides were counterstained with Haematoxylin and coverslipped under DePeX. Please note that for manual staining we recommend to optimize the primary antibody concentration and incubation time (overnight incubation), and amplification may be required.

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-C5b-9 antibody (AB55811)
ICC/IF image of ab55811 stained HeLa cells. The cells were 4% formaldehyde fixed (10 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab55811, 1μg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43μM.

Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded Human placenta tissue labeling C5b-9 with ab55811 at 1/100 dilution (24h at 4°C ) followed by Goat anti Rabbit Alexa Fluor® 488 at 1/1000 dilution (Green).
Red channel corresponds to Evans Blue and white channel is the fluorescence obtained from nuclear counterstain DAPI staining.

C5b-9 immunohistochemistry using Anti-C5b-9 antibody ab55811. Publication image and figure legend from Yang, H., Li, G., et al., 2024, Front Immunol, PubMed 39483473
C5a-C5aR pathway activation in human breast cancer and its role in ferroptosis resistance and breast cancer progression in 4T-1 xenograft mouse model. (A), the expression of C5b-9 and C5aR in BC tumoral tissues (T) and BC-adjacent non-tumoral tissues (N) of patients with different clinical stages were evaluated by immunohistochemistry. Statistical analyses of the difference of C5b-9 and C5aR expression between different groups were presented in the right. Statistical differences are assessed by student’s t-test. Data were mean ± s.e.m. *, p < 0.05, **, p < 0.01, ***, p < 0.001, ****, p < 0.001.

Biological function summary
C5b-9 functions as part of the larger complement system which aids in innate immunity. The process begins once C5b initiates the assembly of the complex by binding to C6 C7 C8 and finally incorporating C9 molecules. These form a pore-like structure leading to increased permeability of the target cell membrane resulting in the disruption and elimination of the pathogen.
Pathways
C5b-9 plays a critical role in the complement cascade an essential pathway in the immune system. This cascade consists of several steps including the alternative and classical pathways. C5b-9 is related to the protein C3 through these pathways which upon activation helps facilitate C5 activation. This connection highlights its importance in promoting pathogen clearance.
