The Human sC5b-9 (Soluble Terminal Complement Complex C5b-9) ELISA quantitates sC5b-9 in serum, plasma, and other biological fluids.
The complement system is a fundamental part of innate immunity, consisting of over 45 genes that encode various complement components, regulators, and receptors. The complement C5b-9 complex, also known as the Membrane Attack Complex (MAC), plays a crucial role in the immune defense mechanism. It includes the sequential assembly of proteins C5b, C6, C7, C8, and multiple copies of C9. This complex forms transmembrane channels that puncture the cell membrane of target cells, leading to cell lysis. Specifically, MAC has significant implications in mediating cell death in both pathogenic organisms and cancer cells. The genes involved are clustered across the human genome, mainly organized in three significant loci. The understanding of the C5b-9 complex's function extends beyond its antimicrobial roles to include its interactions with tumor cells, where it can induce cell death and influence cancer progression.
