Baby Rabbit Complement
Baby rabbit serum used as a source of complement in a complement bactericidal assay.
Image caption:
Killing of S. Typhimurium by total IgG, IgM and IgA from HIV-uninfected and HIV-infected sera.
Log growth phase S. typhimurium D23580 was added to a mixture of the purified antibodies and 75% BRS. The log10 proportion of the starting number of bacteria remaining after 180 minutes was determined on LB agar. To obtain total antibody of each isotype (IgG, IgM and IgA), serum was incubated sequentially with combinations of human IgA and IgM affinity matrices and protein G affinity matrix to remove IgA, IgM and IgG respectively. Sera used were HIV-uninfected (HIV-ve bactericidal, n = 3), HIV-infected bactericidal (HIV+ve bactericidal, n = 4) and HIV-infected inhibitory (HIV+ve inhibitory, n = 5) sera. Each line represents killing by purified total IgG, IgM or IgA antibodies from one serum. Data shown are from a single representative experiment, where each of the three independent experiments was performed in technical triplicates.

- 1 This product is not sold as sterile but can be sterilized by filtration if necessary. It is preferable to dilute the complement to a final working concentration before filtration in order to minimize loss of volume.
Where this product has not been tested for use in a particular technique this does not necessarily exclude its use in such procedures. Suggested working dilutions are given as a guide only. It is recommended that the user titrates the product for use in their own system using appropriate negative/positive controls.
- Instructions For Use
- Use within one hour of reconstitution, keeping on ice throughout.
