Description
The Mouse C3a protein is useful as a standard in a sandwich ELISA to measure mouse C3a protein levels. Purified anti-mouse C3a clone I87-1162 as capture antibody can be paired with the biotinylated I87-419 clone as the detection antibody. The purified antibody should be titrated between 1-4 µg/ml to determine the optimal ELISA plate-coating concentration. For plate coating, we recommend to use a pH 6.5 phosphate buffer. To obtain linear standard curves, doubling dilutions of purified mouse C3a protein ranging from 781 pg/mL to 50 ng/mL are recommended for inclusion in each ELISA plate. This ELISA antibody pair shows no cross-reactivity with the following: recombinant mouse C5a, native human C3a, C4a and C5a, and rat C5a. This ELISA antibody pair shows a limited cross-reactivity with rat C3a. The amount of protein provided is listed on the vial label, record the batch number and the concentration of the reconstituted standard here and on the vial for future reference: ______ ng/mL. Warning: Mouse C3a protein (Cat. No. 558618) contains 0.02% (w/w) of a CMIT/MIT mixture (3:1), which is a mixture of: 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one [EC No 247-500-7] and 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one [EC No 220-239-6] (3:1). Hazard statements May cause an allergic skin reaction. Precautionary statements Wear protective gloves / eye protection. Wear protective clothing. Avoid breathing mist/vapours/spray. If skin irritation or rash occurs: Get medical advice/attention. IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of water. Dispose of contents/container in accordance with local/regional/national/international regulations.
Store the lyophilized standard at 4°C prior to reconstitution.
