The reference range value is 0.2 - 15 ng/ml.

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

Complement component C6 often called simply C6 is an essential protein in the complement system. It is part of the terminal complement pathway which leads to the formation of the membrane attack complex (MAC). C6 has a molecular weight of about 93 kDa and is mainly produced in the liver. It circulates in plasma and interacts with other complement proteins to form MAC aiding in pathogen elimination and cell lysis.
Biological function summary

The role of C6 is the progression and stabilization of the MAC complex which is part of the innate immune system's defense. C6 collaborates with other complement proteins such as C5b C7 C8 and C9. This cooperation helps penetrate the membrane of pathogenic cells leading to cell destruction. Detecting and quantifying C6 levels is possible using techniques like complement C6 ELISA and C6 graphs valuable for research into immune response mechanisms.

Pathways

The complement component C6 is an important player in the terminal complement pathway and the larger complement activation pathway. Within these pathways C6 interacts closely with proteins like C5b and C9 to facilitate the assembly of the MAC. C6's involvement is critical for mounting an efficient immune response against invading pathogens making it an important focus for immunology studies involving the complement cascade.

C6 deficiencies are linked to increased susceptibility to infections particularly by Neisseria species which cause diseases like meningitis. Individuals with C6-related complement deficiencies might show recurrent bacterial infections highlighting its role in immune defense. The protein's interplay with other complement components notably C5 and C7 can influence the disease states and inform potential therapeutic approaches aimed at boosting host defense mechanisms.
