    Hycult Biotech biotinylated monoclonal mouse antibody against human c3 c3a
    ( A ) The complement system is a part of the innate immunity and activated by three different pathways: the classical, the lectin, and the alternative pathway. Activation results in enzymatic cleavage of C3 to <t>C3a</t> and C3b. The latter triggers the terminal complement pathway by cleavage of C5 and the formation of the terminal complement complex sC5b-C9. The formation of sC5b-C9 and the anaphylatoxins C3a and C5a determines complement activation. ( B , C ) The detection of the complement activation products was performed in multiplex suspension bead array based on the x-MAP technology (Luminex ® ). (B) Activation product specific antibodies were immobilized to distinct fluorescent, magnetic beads to capture either C3a, C5a or sC5b-C9 from solution, respectively. Antigen specific biotinylated antibodies and phycoerythrin conjugated to streptavidin detected the captured activation products simultaneously. (C) False positive signals by cross-reacting human anti-species antibodies and in vitro complement activation were excluded by utilizing an appropriate reaction buffer.

    ( A ) Serial dilutions of native, human C3a-desArg (black circle), recombinant, human C5a-desArg (black square) and native human sC5b-C9 (black triangle) depicted different assay performances for the simultaneous analysis of complement activation markers. The target antigens were only detected by respective coupled magnetic beads and not by control beads (grey). Limit of detection (orange) and assay cutoffs (red square) for each analyte are shown. ( B ) The concentration range of complement activation markers determined with the novel multiplex assay from a human serum pool (black square with dot) corresponded to previously reported ranges for C3a, C5a and sC5b-C9 single detection either from plasma (grey), serum (black) or unknown sample matrix (white), respectively [ – ].
