CloneID: EL-16
Antigen Long Description: The original antibody was isolated from a human phage display library generated from the peripheral blood of an inhibitor patient and panning the library against factor VIII light chain.
Buffer Composition: PBS only.
Uniprot Accession No.: P00451
Specificity Statement: This antibody binds the C2 domain of the human factor VIII, a glycoprotein involved in blood coagulation. Factor VIII acts as a cofactor for factor IXa which converts factor X to the activated form Xa in the presence of calcium and phospholipids. Defects in the F8 gene, which encodes Factor VIII, result in the coagulation disorder hemophilia A.
Application Notes (Clone): The inhibitory activity of this antibody against factor VIII was determined using a one-stage clotting assay. This antibody was capable of completely eliminating FVIII inhibition by CLB-CAg 117, a C2 domain directed anti-factor VIII antibody (PMID: 10627462).
