Product overview
Human Complement Factor D ELISA Kit (ab243686) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Complement Factor D protein in cell culture supernatant, cit plasma, edta plasma, hep plasma, serum, and urine. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human Complement Factor D with 2.6 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.

Research areas
-
Function
Factor D cleaves factor B when the latter is complexed with factor C3b, activating the C3bbb complex, which then becomes the C3 convertase of the alternate pathway. Its function is homologous to that of C1s in the classical pathway. -
Involvement in disease
Defects in CFD are the cause of complement factor D deficiency (CFD deficiency) [MIM:134350]. CFD deficiency predisposes to invasive meningococcal disease. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the peptidase S1 family.
Contains 1 peptidase S1 domain. -
Cellular localization
Secreted. - Information by UniProt

The concentrations of Complement Factor D were measured in duplicates, interpolated from the Complement Factor D standard curves and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are as follows: serum 1:1,000, plasma (citrate) 1:1,000, plasma (EDTA) 1:1,000and plasma (heparin) 1:1,000. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean Complement Factor D concentration was determined to be 944.1 ng/mL in serum, 721.8 ng/mL in plasma (citrate), 860.5 ng/mL in plasma (EDTA), and 321.7 ng/mL in plasma (heparin).

The concentrations of Complement Factor D were measured in duplicates, interpolated from the Complement Factor D standard curves and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are as follows: male urine 100%, female urine 50%, and U937 supernatant 12.5%. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean Complement Factor D concentration was determined to be 958.8 pg/mL in male urine, 494.7 pg/mL in female urine and 4,734.2 pg/mL in U937 supernatant.
