CRP binds to several ligands and functions to initiate activation of the complement cascade, phagocytosis and inflammatory responses. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: ELISA:2-8ug/ml, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Hybridoma: Fusion of a mouse myeloma with B cells obtained from a mouse/rat immunized with purified, NS0-derived, recombinant mouse CRP.
