Conjugate: This Factor VIII antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (Frozen Sections) (IHC (fro)), Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA)

Clone: MH104

Product Details anti-Factor VIII Antibody

Specificity: MH104 is specific for human factor VIIIc, a 300 kDa protein present in plasma in a complex with von Willebrandt factor. Involved in the clotting cascade (activated by thrombin) by forming a complex with factor IXa, calcium, and phospholipids. Elevated levels of factor VIII have been associated with acute and chronic liver diseases, vascular disorders, diabetes and with acutephase reactions.

Purification: Protein A affinity chromatography

Immunogen: Human factor VIII antigen

Target Details for Factor VIII

Target: Factor VIII (F8) (Coagulation Factor VIII (F8))

Background: Factor VIII, along with calcium and phospholipid, acts as a cofactor for factor IXa when it converts factor X to the activated form, factor Xa. It is an extracellular factor. Defects in F8 are the cause of hemophilia A (HEMA). HEMA is a common recessive X linked coagulation disorder. The frequency of hemophilia A is 1-2 in 10,000 male births in all ethnic groups. About 50 % of patients have severe hemophilia A with F8C activity less than 1 % of normal, they have frequent spontaneous bleeding into joints, muscles and internal organs. Moderately severe hemophilia A occurs in about 10 % of patients, F8C activity is 2-5 % of normal, and there is bleeding after minor trauma. Mild hemophilia A, which occurs in 30-40 % of patients, is associated with F8C activity of 5-30 % and bleeding occurs only after significant trauma or surgery. Of particular interest for the understanding of the function of F8C is the category of CRM (cross-reacting material) positive patients (approximately 5 %) that have considerable amount of F8C in their plasma (at least 30 % of normal), but the protein is nonfunctional, i.e., the F8C activity is much less than the plasma protein level. CRM reduced is another category of patients in which the F8C antigen and activity are reduced to approximately the same level. Most mutations are CRM negative, and probably affect the folding and stability of the protein.Synonyms: AHF, Antihemophilic factor, F8C, Procoagulant component
