Application
Complement C6 is one of the end terminals of the complement system contained in the membrane attack complex (MAC). A deficiency of C6 may result in an increased susceptibility to Neisseria meningitidis. Research has identified that a mutation which leads to a 31 bp deletion in exon 10 in the C6 gene results in C6 deficiency. A coagulation defect has also been observed in mice that are C6 deficient.
Physical form
Supplied as a solution in PBS, pH 7.4
Analysis Note
C6 is depleted by immunoadsorption as judged by a highly sensitive hemolytic assay.

Complement component C6 is one of five terminal complement components incorporated into the membrane attack complex. Complete deficiency of C6 (C6Q0) leads to an increased susceptibility to Neisseria meningitidis infections, and affected individuals typically present with recurrent meningococcal disease. There

The clinical outcomes of primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) are greatly improved by accurate diagnosis early in life. However, it is not common to consider PIDs before the manifestation of severe clinical symptoms. Including PIDs in the nation-wide newborn screening programs will
