A METHOD OF QUANTITATING UNBOUND C5 IN A SAMPLE

Abstract:

A method of quantitating free (unbound) human C5 complement protein (C5) from a sample comprising: binding biotinylated anti-C5 capture antibody to strepavidin-coated particles; capturing the free (unbound) C5 in the sample; detecting the captured free C5; and quantitating the captured free C5 using laser-induced fluorescence detection; wherein the method is performed in a Gyros Bioaffy 200 CD in a Gyrolab xPlore or a Gyrolab XP instrument.
