Gene Information

Specificity

By Western blot the antibody recognizes the 83 kDa light chain of human Factor VIII. No cross reactivity with von Willebrand factor.

Immunogen

Epitope: 83 kDa light chain
Purified Human Factor VIII.

Application

Anti-Factor VIII Antibody, 83 kDa light chain is an antibody against Factor VIII for use in ELISA & WB.
ELISA (indirect): 1:16,000.

Western blotting: Factor VIII makes up only about 1% of the ciruculating FactorVIII/vWF complex with the bulk of the complex being vWF (99% by mass, see Blood 58:1-13, 1981). Thus it is recommended that the FactorVII/vWF be precipitated out of plasma prior to detection of Factor VII with MAB038. Also, when blotting plasma preparations, background, non-specific bands, caused by the serum proteins are common. More complex blocking solutions or higher salt concentrations can help remove non-specific bands. Rotblat, et al (1985) Biochemistry 24(16):4294-4300. Should be consulted for additional tips with regard to detecting Factor VII via westerns.

Therapeutic products with coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) have a wide range of specific activities, implying presence of protein with altered structure. Previous studies showed that recombinant FVIII products (rFVIII) contain a fraction (FVIIIFT ) unable to bind von Willebrand factor
