Product Name :
Sheep anti Human Factor I

Description :
| Clone Polyclonal | Units 1 ml | Host Sheep

Background :
Factor I is a serine protease composed of two disulphide-linked chains. The protein has a molecular weight of 88.000 and its mean concentration in human plasma is 35 μg/ml. It is involved in the regulation of the C3/C5 convertase of either pathway. Using C4-binding protein or factor H splits the a chains of C4b or C3b respectively, which includes their roles in the C3/C5 convertases. It has been isolated as a homogenous protein for use in the antiserum production. Freund’s complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.

Source :
The reactivity of the antiserum is restricted to factor I. In immunoelectrophoresis and radial immunodiffusion, using various antiserum concentrations against human EDTA plasma a single precipitin line is obtained and shows a reaction of full identity with the purified immunogen. In precipitating techniques as immunoelectrophoresis and single and double radial immunodiffusion (Mancini, Ouchterlony) to identify the presence of F I or to determine its concentration. The presence of non-precipitating antibodies has not been assayed. This does not exclude the use of the antiserum in non-precipitating antibody-binding techniques if proper controls are included. <

Product :
Delipidated, heat inactivated, lyophilized, stable IgG fraction. No preservative added. Total protein and IgG concentration are comparable to those of pooled normal sheep serum. No foreign proteins added. Reconstitute the lyophilized antiserum by adding 1 ml sterile distilled water. Formulation: Delipidated, heat inactivated, lyophilized, stable IgG fraction. No preservative added. Total protein and IgG concentration are comparable to those of pooled normal sheep serum. No foreign proteins added.

Specificity :
Precipitating polyclonal Sheep antiSerum to Human factor I. Species Reactivity: The antiSerum does not cross-react with any other Human plasma proteins as tested in geldiffusion techniques. Inter-species cross-reactivity is a normal feature of antibodies to plasma proteins, since homologous proteins of different species frequently share antigenic determinants. Cross-reactivity of this antiSerum has not been tested in detail.

Applications :
Precipitation assays. In immunoelectrophoresis in agarose-plates use 2 μl human plasma or equivalent against 120 μl antiserum. In double radial immunodiffusion use a rosette arrangement with 10 μl antiserum in 3 mm diameter center well and 2 μl plasma samples (neat and serially diluted) in 2 mm diameter peripheral wells. In electroimmunodiffusion (Laurell) use a concentration of 1% of the antiserum in the gel.

Storage :
The lyophilized antiserum is shipped at ambient temperature and may be stored at +4°C; prolonged storage at or below -20°C. Dilutions may be prepared by adding phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2). Repeated thawing and freezing should be avoided. If a slight precipitation occurs upon storage, this should be removed by centrifugation. It will not affect the performance of the antiserum. Diluted antiserum should be stored at +4°C, not refrozen, and preferably used the same day

References :

Antibodies are immunoglobulins secreted by effector lymphoid B cells into the bloodstream. Antibodies consist of two light peptide chains and two heavy peptide chains that are linked to each other by disulfide bonds to form a “Y” shaped structure. Both tips of the “Y” structure contain binding sites for a specific antigen. Antibodies are commonly used in medical research, pharmacological research, laboratory research, and health and epidemiological research. They play an important role in hot research areas such as targeted drug development, in vitro diagnostic assays, characterization of signaling pathways, detection of protein expression levels, and identification of candidate biomarkers.
