C3 COMPLEMENT, 20 mL
1,950.00 EGP
Description
For quantitative in vitro determination of C3 Complement in serum or plasma.
| State | Liquid |
| Storage temp. | +2 / +8 ºC |
| Technique | Immunoturbidimetric method |
PRINCIPLE
The reagent allows quantifying the level of human C3 Complement present in the sample by comparing the turbidimetric response produced with that obtained from the standard curve of known concentrations of human C3 Complement. The reagent is an antiserum anti-human C3 Complement which reacts with the C3 Complement of the serum giving protein aggregates. This aggregation process produces an increase in the Abs. of the system.
DIAGNOSTIC USE
The C3 Complement (C3) is the most abundant component and is cleaved by all pathways of complement activation. It is a protein synthesized by the liver in response to bacterial endotoxin which induces their synthesis by monocytes and fibroblasts. High levels of C3 are found in acute inflammatory reactions, amyloidosis and biliary obstruction. Decreased levels occur with genetic deficiency, recurrent infection by pyogenic bacteria and in neonates.
A single test result could not be used to make a clinical diagnosis. It should integrate clinical and laboratory data.
