Contributor Information

  • Name Alison Goodall
  • Institute University College London (UCL) ; Absolute Antibody

Tool Details

  • Tool name: Anti-Factor VIII [RFF-VIII:c/8]
  • Clone: rRFF-VIII:c/8
  • Tool type: Antibodies
  • Class: Recombinant
  • Conjugate: Unconjugated
  • Reactivity: Human
  • Host: Mouse
  • Application: IF ; Fn ; WB
  • Description: The commonest severe congenital bleeding disorder in all races is haemophilia A. The characteristic defect is a lack of coagulation factor VIII:C. Factor VIII:C is a glycoprotein that functions as a cofactor for factor IXa which, in the presence of calcium and phospholipids, converts factor X to the activated form Xa. This antibody binds to human FVIII:C heavy chain and inhibits its function.
  • Immunogen: Purified human factor VIII
  • Isotype: IgG1 kappa
  • Research area: Tissue-specific biology

  • For Research Use Only
