Description
The complement system is an important factor in innate immunity. In the complement activation process of complement protein 5 (C5), C5 is proteolyzed and produces the allergic peptide C5a.
C5a is a small polypeptide composed of 74 amino acids (11kDa), derived from the N-terminus of the α chain. C5a itself has a short lifespan and is quickly broken down into more stable ones in serum, although it still has biological activity C5a-desArg (also known as acylation stimulating protein, ASP). Therefore, the measurement of C5a-desArg can reliably assess the level of complement activation in the test sample. For convenience, the following two forms will refer to it as C5a.
C5a acts as an effective anaphylactoxin, causing smooth muscle contraction, vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, basophilic and mast cell degranulation, and release of lysosomal enzymes. In addition, C5a is an effective chemokine for eosinophils, basophils and monocytes.
C5a is involved in the inflammatory response seen in Gram-negative bacterial sepsis, trauma, ischemic heart disease, post-dialysis syndrome and various autoimmune diseases. Elevated C5a is associated with increased cardiovascular risk in patients with advanced atherosclerosis. Moreover, C5a is closely related to the capillary leak syndrome in children with leukemia after bone marrow transplantation. C5a is also a marker in urine, which can predict the occurrence of acute transplant rejection after kidney transplantation. The activation products of the complement cascade contain new epitopes that are not present in various natural components. The porcine C5a ELISA kit is based on a capture monoclonal antibody that is highly specific to C5a-desArg and does not cross-react with C5.
Applications
Pig C5a ELISA kit is used for in vitro quantitative determination of pig C5a in serum and plasma samples.
Principle
Pig C5a ELISA kit is a ready-to-use solid-phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay based on the sandwich principle. The working time is 3 hours. The effective form of the plate with twelve disposable 8-well plates allows free choice of batch size for determination. The samples and standards are incubated in microtiter wells coated with antibodies that recognize pig C5a. The biotinylated tracer antibody will bind to the captured Pig C5a. The streptavidin-peroxidase conjugate will bind the biotinylated tracer antibody. The streptavidin-peroxidase conjugate will react with the substrate tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). The enzyme reaction is stopped by adding oxalic acid. Measure the absorbance at 450nm with a spectrophotometer. Draw a standard curve by plotting the absorbance (linear) relative to the corresponding concentration (logarithm) of the Pig C5a standard. The concentration of the pig C5a sample running at the same time as the standard can be determined from the standard curve.

Detection Method
Enzyme immunoassay (ELISA) technique
Detection Limit
Measurable concentration range of 0.3 to 20 ng/ml.
Sensitivity

Sample
Serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids
Specimen Collection
Blood samples were collected using sterile venipuncture techniques, and serum was obtained using standard procedures. At least 5 ml of whole blood is recommended. Let the blood clot in the serum test tube for 60-65 minutes at room temperature (20-25°C). Centrifuge the blood sample and transfer the cell-free serum to a clean test tube. The serum must be handled correctly to prevent complement activation in vitro. Serum should be frozen in a sealed tube at -70°C or lower for long-term storage or transport on dry ice. The sample should not be frozen and thawed more than once. Do not use jaundice, lipemia and hemolytic serum. You cannot use heat-inactivated serum. Plasma cannot be used.
