Complement Factor B antibody | 014III-33.2.4.3
Mouse anti Human complement factor B antibody, clone 014III-33.2.4.3 (MCA2647) used to detect Complement factor B expressing cells in photoreceptor layers of the eye by immunohistochemistry on cryostat sections.
Image caption:
Presence of CFB immunoreactivity in the photoreceptor outer segment layer of donor eyes diagnosed with GA
(a) Immunohistochemical detection CFB (red) in a 67 year old female control donor eye (left panel) and 82 (middle panel) and 88 (right panel) year old female donor eyes diagnosed with GA. CFB is detected in the choroid of all donor eyes, and in the photoreceptor outer segment layer of donor eyes diagnosed with GA.
(b) Immunohistochemistry results on two serial sections obtained from the GA donor eye shown in the middle panel of (a). In the left panel, the primary antibody has been replaced with a mouse IgG2a isotype control antibody (isotype). The right panels show sections through human liver stained with a-CFB antibody or with isotype control antibody. GCL = granule cell layer, INL = inner nuclear layer, BM = Bruch's membrane. Scale bars = 50μm (a, left panels in b) or 10μm (right panel in b).

Mouse anti Human Complement Factor B (Ba Fragment) antibody, clone 014III-33.2.4.3 recognises the 30 kDa Ba fragment of 90 kDa human complement factor B, present in blood serum. C3b associates with complement factor B, inducing conformational change. This enables complement factor D to cleave the N-terminal of complement factor B (the Ba subunit), leaving the 63 kDa Bb subunit associated with C3b, forming C3 convertase. Subunit Ba inhibits lymphocyte proliferation. Conversely, subunit Bb is involved in the proliferation of preactivated B lymphocytes.
Mouse anti Human Complement Factor B (Ba Fragment) antibody, clone 014III-33.2.4.3 has been reported for use in functional studies to block activity of the target protein. Removal of Sodium Azide is recommended prior to use in functional assays. Bio-Rad recommend the use of EQU003 for this purpose.
