Purity:Purified by Protein A affinity chromatography.
Form:Supplied as a lyophilized powder from PBS, pH 7.4, 0.5% BSA, 0.09% sodium azide. Reconstitute with 1ml sterile ddH2O.
Specificity:Recognizes an epitope on the human C3 alpha,-chain, or C3a which is present on native C3. The antibody inhibits the anaphylactic function of C3a: the capacity of C3a to induce serotonin release from thrombocytes in vitro is inhibited; similarly, treatment of C3a with the antibody inhibits the C3a-induced skin reaction in vivo. Species Crossreactivity: guinea pig and rabbit
