Complement Component 4a (C4a) is a component of the complement system, which is a cleavage product of the complement C4 protein. C4a has been implicated in various inflammatory and immune responses. It acts as a chemoattractant, recruiting immune cells such as neutrophils and macrophages to the site of inflammation. Additionally, C4a can stimulate the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, further amplifying the immune response. Besides, the binding of MASP2 to C4a is an important step in the lectin pathway of the complement system, thus a functional binding ELISA assay was conducted to detect the interaction of recombinant mouse C4a and recombinant human MASP2. Briefly, C4a was diluted serially in PBS with 0.01% BSA (pH 7.4). Duplicate samples of 100 μl were then transferred to MASP2-coated microtiter wells and incubated for 1h at 37°C. Wells were washed with PBST and incubated for 1h with anti-C4a pAb, then aspirated and washed 3 times. After incubation with HRP labelled secondary antibody for 1h at 37°C, wells were aspirated and washed 5 times. With the addition of substrate solution, wells were incubated 15-25 minutes at 37°C. Finally, add 50 µL stop solution to the wells and read at 450/630 nm immediately. The binding activity of recombinant mouse C4a and recombinant human MASP2 was shown, the EC50 for this effect is 0.21 ug/mL. |
