Clone: Polyclonal
Background: The reactivity of the antiserum is restricted to heparin cofactor II. In bidimensional electrophoresis against fresh normal human plasma a single precipitin line is obtained which shows a reaction of identity with the precipitin line obtained with purified immunogen. No reaction is obtained with any other plasma protein component or serum. In precipitating techniques as immunoelectrophoresis and single or double radial immunodiffusion to identify the presence of heparin cofactor II in human plasma or other body fluids 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.
Source: Heparin cofactor II is a glycoprotein synthesized in the liver and has a molecular weight of 65,000. It is a plasma serine inhibitor of thrombin. Antithrombin III is more slowly inhibited. A hereditary form of inactive heparin cofactor II has been described. Reduced plasma values have been observed in disseminated intravascular coagulopathy and in lever disease. Freund’s complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.
Specificity: Precipitating polyclonal Rabbit antiSerum to Human heparin cofactor II.
Formulation: Delidated, heat inactivated, lyophilized, stable whole antiserum. No preservative added. Total protein and IgG concentrations in the antiserum are comparable to those of pooled normal rabbit serum. No foreign proteins added.
