| Description : |
C5b,6 is a product of complement activation of C5 and an intermediate in the formation of the C5b-9 membrane attack complex (MAC) of complement. |
| Form : |
Frozen liquid |
| Bio-activity : |
>10,000 Units/mg for lysis of sheep erythrocytes. |
| Molecular Mass : |
285,000 Da (3 chains). C5b,6 is composed of two disulfide linked chains from C5b (105,000 and 75,000) and one unlinked chain from C6 (105,000). |
