Goat anti Human C5, conjugated with FITC

Tested in immunoelectrophoresis and double radial immunodiffusion against normal human serum, a single precipitin line is obtained which gives a reaction of full identity with the isolated immunogen. The product does not react with any other proteins component of human serum or plasma. The fluorescent immunoconjugate to human C5 is used to determine the presence and pattern using immunohistochemical staining techniques. Determinations of individual C components can be very useful in defining the exact location of a defect. This immunoconjugate is not pre-diluted. The optimum working dilution of each conjugate should be established by titration before being used. Excess labelled antibody must be avoided because it may cause high unspecific background staining and interfere with the specific signal.
