C8A Antibodies

AND C8A ELISA kits, C8A Proteins

Many biological assays use antibodies to detect C8A, such as Western Blot (WB), ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry (IHC). These antibodies can be polyclonal or monoclonal, and react with C8A in Human, Mouse, Rat, and many other animal samples. Boster Bio use mainly mouse and rabbit to develop C8A antibodies...

We validate the specificity of these antibodies to C8A by testing them on tissues known to express C8A positively and negatively. Browse below to find the C8A antibody that suites your experiment. We have 1 of these antibodies and many publications and validation images.

If you cannot find antibodies that fit your needs, contact us for making custom antibodies. We have a full suite of custom antibody services covering from research to diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

C8A Overview

Facts about Complement component C8 alpha chain.

C8A 3D structure. Source: alphafold

Complement component C8 alpha chain (C8A)

Constituent of the membrane attack complex (MAC) which plays an integral role in the innate and adaptive immune response by forming pores in the plasma membrane of target cells. C8A inserts into the target membrane, but does not form pores alone.
