Purified human complement component C6 Complement component C6 is unique to the terminal complement pathway. It is a single chain protein with a molecular weight of 120 KDA and is present in plasma at approximately 60 mg/L. Together with the other proteins of the terminal pathway, C6 constitutes the membrane attack complex or MAC.

All Quidel complement components are tested for functional activity in a standard lytic or applicable functional assay and for biochemical purity by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for lot specific information on functional titer.

Quidel's purified human complement components are useful in a wide variety of immunochemical and research applications. For assistance with a specific protocol, please contact Quidel Technical Support.
