Product overview
Human Complement C6 ELISA Kit (ab230934) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Complement C6 protein in cell culture supernatant, cit plasma, edta plasma, hep plasma, saliva, and serum. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human Complement C6 with 71 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells stripsA 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

Function
Constituent of the membrane attack complex (MAC) that plays a key role in the innate and adaptive immune response by forming pores in the plasma membrane of target cells. -
Involvement in disease
Defects in C6 are the cause of complement component 6 deficiency (C6D) [MIM:612446]. A rare defect of the complement classical pathway associated with susceptibility to severe recurrent infections, predominantly by Neisseria gonorrhoeae or Neisseria meningitidis. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the complement C6/C7/C8/C9 family.
Contains 1 EGF-like domain.
Contains 2 Kazal-like domains.
Contains 1 LDL-receptor class A domain.
Contains 1 MACPF domain.
Contains 2 Sushi (CCP/SCR) domains.
Contains 3 TSP type-1 domains. -
Post-translational
modificationsAll cysteine residues are assumed to be cross-linked to one another. Individual modules containing an even number of conserved cysteine residues are supposed to have disulfide linkages only within the same module. -

SimpleStep ELISA technology allows the formation of the antibody-antigen complex in one single step, reducing assay time to 90 minutes. Add samples or standards and antibody mix to wells all at once, incubate, wash, and add your final substrate. See protocol for a detailed step-by-step guide.

Example of Human Complement C6 standard curve in Sample Diluent NS + Enhancer.The Complement C6 standard curve was prepared as described in Section 10.
-
Interpolated concentrations of native Complement C6 in Human serum, plasma and saliva samples.The concentrations of Complement C6 were measured in duplicates, interpolated from the Complement C6 standard curves and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are as follows: serum 1:2000, plasma (citrate) 1:2000, plasma (EDTA) 1:2000, plasma (heparin) 1:2000, and saliva 1:2. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean Complement C6 concentration, corrected for dilution, was determined to be 21 µg/mL in serum, 19 µg/mL in plasma (citrate), 16 µg/mL in plasma (EDTA), 15 µg/mL in plasma (heparin), and 4 ng/mL (0.004 µg/mL) in saliva.
-
Serum from ten individual healthy Human male donors was measured in duplicate.Interpolated, dilution factor-corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean Complement C6 concentration was determined to be 23 µg/mL with a range of 16 – 29 µg/mL.
