Application Notes

This antibody is a potent coagulation inhibitor (Rotblat, 1983).This antibody has been employed to produce factor VIII-deficient plasma by immunodepletion (Takase et al, 1987); purified monoclonal antibodies were bound to Sepharose columns, which were used to reduce the factor VII content of plasma through column chromatography. This antibody does not bind antigens if CRM negative haemophilic plasma, which lacks factor VIII, is used in column chromatography (Rotblat et al, 1983). This antibody has also been used in Western blotting to identify factor VIII (Rotblat et al, 1985)

Short Description

This chimeric human antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Mouse IgG1 format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
