C1QB Antibody

C1QB is a major constituent of the human complement subcomponent C1q. C1q associates with C1r and C1s in order to yield the first component of the serum complement system. Deficiency of C1q has been associated with lupus erythematosus and glomerulonephritis. C1q is composed of 18 polypeptide chains: six A-chains, six B-chains, and six C-chains. Each chain contains a collagen-like region located near the N terminus and a C-terminal globular region. The A-, B-, and C-chains are arranged in the order A-C-B on chromosome 1. C1QB is the B-chain polypeptide of human complement subcomponent C1q.This gene encodes a major constituent of the human complement subcomponent C1q.

For short periods of storage (days) store at 4˚ C. For longer periods of storage, store C1QB antibody at -20˚ C. As with any antibody avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

C1QB antibody can be used for detection of C1QB by ELISA at 1:1562500. C1QB antibody can be used for detection of C1QB by western blot at 0.5 μ g/mL, and HRP conjugated secondary antibody should be diluted 1:50,000 - 100,000.
